It’s better with uefi if it initialized correctly

Sure, I'm sure if it finds a 16:9 mode it'll use it. The silly thing is that if it doesn't it seemingly decides it needs to squish the entire framebuffer (in software, presumably) on the arbitrary assumption that the user's monitor is 16:9 and configured in stretch mode.

Like, someone deliberately wrote some code to output an incorrect, wrong image on the assumption that the user's monitor is also incorrectly configured and they'll cancel out.

Before win7 they used 4:3, so I guess it's some improvement

4:3 is correct for 4:3 modes. Here they're spitting out anamorphic 16:9 video on a 4:3 mode, which is a huge WTF.

well before it was 4:3 stretched to 16:9, which is arguably was worse for most users

The users with their 16:9 screens configured in stretch mode don't care. Those with them in aspect stretch mode *do* care. And now the latter will get an ugly display.

my 16:10 dells stretch either way (._.)
