This happens because the 1366x768 resolution is not really standard, and very few PCs (or VMs) support it. profanOS uses GRUB to initialize the screen's VESA mode, and when it fails, it simply boots in text mode.

This resolution is included in the make miso / with the download of profanOS-fullgrub.iso because it is the ISO I use to test profan on real hardware (on an HP ProBook x360 11 G5 EE). This PC has a screen with this resolution, but it seems to be uncommon...
