From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's the odd part. I run Pop!_OS on a ThinkPad with a 4K touch screen at 175% scaling and it looks beautiful. The scaling on the DE is superb. I don't understand why they don't offer a HiDPI option on their laptops.
And it works fine with multiple monitors at different scaling ratios, or does it scale them all the same? That's the actual part that didn't work correctly for me, back then.
No problem. I have three screens, the built-in at 175%, the attached 1440p at 100% and the 1080p also at 100%.
Well damn. Interesting. Thanks!
