(would prefer the second) Hi, the thread referred to here might be interesting as well: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2020-October/041637.html "Re-thinking DPI and scaling (Re: Physical vs logical DPI on X)" TL;DR: pixel resolution ignores the physical screen size but limits how small details can be rendered, DPI ignores the viewing distance meaning that you don't actually know if something n millimeters high is legible or not even at infinite pixel resolution. Then add systems with heterogeneous outputs. Also accessibility for people with poor eye-sight (maybe somehow factor in user interface scaling?). Thanks, pq
