So I've got a nice new Lenovo ThinkPad laptop for work. Its got lots of memory and disk, awesome battery life, and it's nice and portable; just the thing for a systems engineer -- it even has a wired ethernet connection (I was previously using a Mac Air). It doesn't have a very large resolution though, just 1366 x 768.
Normally I would use VirtualBox, but on this laptop I'm trying out Hyper-V (because that's what Docker for Windows requires on Windows 10).
I went to install CentOS 7 (7.4), but the resolution of the default framebuffer is larger than can fit on my host's screen. This biggest annoyance about this is that Hyper-V wasn't showing me scroll-bars, and it also only allows to zoom in (for Hi-DPI screens), and not to zoom out. Being able to zoom out was very useful feature in VirtualBox, but the biggest problem was that it cut off the bottom of the screen, so I couldn't proceed with the install.
