It's not bad but it's also not great. Once you use higher DPI screens you don't want to go back. The 13" MBP with 2560x1600 is great.

There’s a lot of stuff that is aesthetically nicer about Apple machines. But a display is only one attribute of a machine. Many people would rather use software and hardware that protects their freedom, which is why a System76 machine would be a better choice for them.

I have a 2018 MacBook Air (Retina) I use for testing. The display is beautiful. I’m very familiar with running and tweaking MacOS. And honestly I don’t like it. I don’t like fighting with how Apple feels you should be allowed to use -their- hardware. I am way more productive in Linux now that I’m used to it.
