- artursapek 10y agoI just bought the highest-end 4th gen X1 Carbon and it has a high-density 2560x1440 matte display. It's as good as or better than the MBP's. And Ubuntu handles handles UI scaling surprisingly well.
- intopieces 10y ago> And Ubuntu handles handles UI scaling surprisingly well. This is why I jumped from Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13 9343 (Early 2015) to a new MacBook Pro (Late 2016, non-touch). I was tired of being surprised when things worked well. I gave it a good shot -- five months of tweaking, five months of reinstalls and forum posts and being back on the Linux Train with everything. But it just got so old. Workarounds for workarounds, unpredictability, lack of interoperability with my other devices... I just couldn't do it anymore. Linux rarely delights. I still keep Elementary OS on a desktop (it too has some oddities, but it's mostly smooth sailing) but on a laptop, when I'm out of my home and really want to just get work done, I haven't found anything as pleasing as OS X. I enjoyed Linux for learning how to tweak things, but sometimes I want to use the computer, not configured it. And Ubuntu was always needing configuration.
