Can’t upvote enough! It’s also my main beef with many chromebooks - decent specs and just unacceptable screens for productivity.

Even though Linux may not scale resolution as good as a Mac or Windows yet, being able to fit more text on the screen is huge for productivity.

When you factor in new gaming options like Stadia or Nvidia Now, where you can game high end stuff without the high end hardware locally, FHD is just disappointing.

Linux scales leaps and bounds better than mac and windows these days..
What DM do you use? I have endless problems with scaling in both Gnome 3 and Cinnamon, compared to Windows where I've really never had a problem except with some very legacy software. The underlying problem is that the scaling setting in the WM tends to only be observed by software built with the same toolkit, so you have to set scaling up in a different way for each GUI toolkit and there's a decent list of them in common use on Linux.
