In 2024, with GNOME 45, Wayland, and 1.25 fractional scaling, regular DPI displays still look better than HiDPI displays. This is a photo of Discord on two laptops side by side.

The blurry one is the HiDPI display from Framework 13. The sharp one is a regular DPI display from Dell XPS 13. Both laptops.

The difference is even more stark in person.

Even the screenshots from the Framework are blurrier than the screen shots from the Dell.

    There’s no useful information to glean from this image other than the fact that we finally found someone who uses light mode on Discord.

      I generally prefer light mode (I got lemmy on light mode for example) but certain apps like steam or discord just always were dark mode so I prefer them like that now lol
