Framework's fault for poorly choosing a display with known issues.

jg1i OP ,

Exactly! All I want is a nice display in 2024—and Framework chooses a garbage display with known issues.

jg1i OP ,

The known issue with HiDPI displays, like the one Framework chose, is that apps are blurry. Other laptops, like Thinkpad or XPS, offer low DPI displays which avoid this issue altogether. The irony is that a HiDPI display is supposed to look better than a low DPI display, but the scaling issues actually make it look worse.

In addition, the experimental flags required to "fix" the scaling issues with apps can also break these apps.

In summary, HiDPI displays have a long history of making your display look worse and limiting the apps you can use. Thinkpad or XPS with low DPI don't require you to only use Ubuntu or Fedora or only KDE. Linux support on the Framework is held back by the poor choice of display.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. 🙏
