From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The screen is going to be connected to my pi 4 through HDMI, using x11 most likely. I'm still waiting on the lcd controller so I haven't been able to fully test the setup
You should be able to set up letterboxing using either xrandr or your window manager, although I got pretty unsatisfactory results when I searched for "xrandr letterboxing".
