The irony is that my old "low res" laptop looks sharp and crisp while "high res" looks blurry. My old laptop doesn't require me to give up my distro of choice (Arch btw), doesn't require me to give up apps I like, and doesn't require me to spend days applying workarounds that ultimately don't even completely solve the problem.
why would high dpi rule out arch??
BECAUSE THERE'S NO EXE!!!
..?
I use Arch on a Framework 13 and 125% scaling in KDE. It works fine and I honestly forget that it's not at 100% scale. The only big issue I've seen is when you have multiple monitors with different scaling, some applications can get a bit confused, especially if the edge of the window is touching the edge between two monitors with different scaling.
