Instead, the game window gets centered and black bars fill the remaining space on top, bottom, left, and right. In Ubuntu 18.04 on my new laptop, it does not change the screen resolution. In Ubuntu 18.04 on my old laptop, it would stretch to fill the screen, but preserve the app's aspect ratio by placing black bars to the left and right.
