Really? What's the best Linux distro/toolset to use in order to get anything to show up in a usable way in HDPI? I don't think you can buy new monitors anymore that are at low enough a resolution to support modern Linux.

Err, you must be looking in the wrong aisle/store. You can certainly buy new, good IPS/MVA panels (as a finsihed, desktop-ready unit) with more classic dpi. E.g. the classic format 19" 1280*1024: iiyama PROLITE P1905S-B2 available for 150~200$ new. To be fair, this is probably one of the, if not the lowest DPI/resolution desktop screen they offer, but still. it's at about 86 DPI, they also sell a 32" 1080p screen running at 68 DPI. I do like it a bit higher between about 100~110 DPI, and above 120 DPI requires high DPI technology. So, yes, please consider reasonable hardware. Don't buy HighDPI if you don't want to handle HighDPI with legacy software.

...Fedora? Or anything recently modern?

I literally run FC28 on 4K monitors and at 1.25 scale on my 1440p T480 and I don't even think about it.

Wayland pretty much just works and has for at least a year.

What country are you living where you can't have access to such "old" monitors? An imaginary one?

Two classic form factors are still readily available: 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 at 24", and 2560x1440 at 27".

All the ultrawide 21:9 screens are "LoDPI" as well, and at 1440p or 1600p they're great for coding.
