On my new laptop, my display is 2560 x 1440 resolution. In Windows, I can read the text with that resolution. In Linux in the console, the text is tiny and almost impossible to read.

For the same 2560 x 1440 resolution, why it the text readable in Windows but to tiny on the linux console? How do I fix this without decreasing the resolution in Linux?

The linux console is a simple framebuffer which utilizes fixed-size fonts. Windows is a full-blown graphical environment. That's why.

There's just one solution - get a bigger font.
