Ok #netbsd fans. I have an x1 carbon from 2023. It’s running Arch and that’s all good. But I’m very very motivated to swim in the waters of a bsd system.
My interests and uses normally involve games and graphics explorations. I just want to be able to use the intel gpu with sdl3 basically. And sadly this is a hidpi system so I’m always worried whether getting a usable display for my aging eyesight is achievable.
Does anyone have words of caution here for me? Is it known to not work in some capacity? I’ve seen the wiki/docs and it sure seems doable but maybe someone has personal experience they can share?

@photex@icosahedron.website high dpi -> the default GUI is set up to scale. gpu -> the machine is too new. It will use software rendering for OpenGL.
