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 mean MacOS has the reverse problem. They dropped support for sub pixel rendering once they switched to HDPI screens so now text looks blurry as fuck on all normal dpi monitors.

    Windows and some Linux distros are the only OSs that nicely handles resolution scaling across both high and low dpi screens.

      Yeah but most customers buying a MacBook don’t give a shit about running 10 year old 1080p monitors. Linux users high s much higher chance of running old hardware.

        I mean, I do and I have to use a Macbook for work. There’s not much difference between 4k and 1080p at under 24", on top of the fact that I should be testing my software on 1080p screens and not just exclusively high res screens.

        Apple’s attitude towards technology as disposable and garbage the instant it ages is horrendous and has knock on effects for everyone.

          Your personal preference aside Linux DE (in general) pisses off more of it’s users as a % over stuff like this than apple does. The general populations preferences don’t line up to the Linux community ethos or practices. This is an example of that.

              Your failure to provide a reliable source for your claims is not my problem.

              If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.
