It better not have a HiDPI display… It’s not “fully Linux compatible” if they ship it with a buggy, non-compatible HiDPI display. “Full Linux support” should mean I don’t have blurry fonts, oddly shaped windows, stuck using only certain DEs, stuck using only certain apps.

In the announcement they say the resolution (2880x1920) was chosen to be used at 2x scaling for that reason. I dont fully get that? Its not a multiple of 1920x1080, so thats unclear to me.

Lol, just because you chose to use DEs that don’t support it well doesn’t mean every customer that wants high resolution has to suffer.

What’s the issue with HiDPI ? I’m out of the loop.

All of the OSs that ship by default on Framework machines properly support HiDPI. I think it’s fair to expect that shipping with HiDPI is fine. Yes, or course, you can put your own OS on it, but I don’t complain to Dell when my preferred OS doesn’t support some piece of hardware properly.

Just put a lower resolution and good. Then it could have been just a HD or 2k display as well? Yes.
