The future is now.

Apple and Microsoft both make high DPI displays over 260 ppi on their largest 15-inch+ notebooks and tablets.

As graphic designer I'm able to work on 106-120 PPI displays. Anything higher means upscaling which is problematic for UI design, especially on web.

We can't hold back the world because of some lazy UI Devs, I can't believe we still facing scaling issues in 2024!

My solution, under Linux, I get laptop screens with 2X scaling, i.e. 2.8K and 3.2K for larger laptops.

Linux does not support 10 bit colours. Also DCI P3 is still not standard instead of sRGB.

I'm well aware, but that hasn't translated to similar resolutions on desktops even though laptops have had them for almost a decade.
