that's because some people (not me) want everything "bigger" visually but without it looking like blurry poo poo which is what you get when you decrease the resolution

basically if someone invents a flat screen that like a crt, can support any resolution instead of just a native one, well, they'll make a lot of money I bet

yeah if only there was a way to decouple resolution and on-screen graphical elements. i guess this is just a problem too big to solve!

using a Mac at work and Windows at home my irrelevant opinion is that both are garbage and that I wouldn't want to use them the other way around

also iOS UI is ugly as poo poo and I rather deal with anroid than have to look at it every time I pick up my phone

iirc it's a combo of the best available resolution bitmaps and vectors with custom hinting for each logical resolution

at least that explains why you think good display scaling is an impossibility and that 1376x768 displays are better than literally anything else

I didn't say I liked low resolution displays. I said I know a lot of olds that run windows in a lower resolution because too high of a resolution hurts their eyes

and I won't apologize for saying windows 10 is poo poo
