My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    I’d love to switch back to Linux but this is why I moved back to macOS for good several years ago. Once I got a taste of reading code at 4k/retina (faux-4k) – not to mention the better font support – there was no going back, for me at least.

    If it’s considered user error for someone to want a high DPI display in 2024, then I can only surmise that people who share that sentiment have convinced themselves that more eye strain is a worthwhile tradeoff for FOSS. Commendable but a tough sell.

      I run Linux with 4k on my Ubuntu box and it’s no problem, except for Java apps. I don’t think it’s Ububtu specific. In the Settings of Gnome you have the choice to scale everything, if needed. I prefer to scale individual things, so I get more space.
