I really wish this had a 4K display option. As someone who dislikes fractional scaling.

I'm clinging on to my older Thinkpad X1 because the 4K display is so good.

Doesn't it work perfectly with a 2880px-wide display with 2x scaling?

As a heavy fractional scaling user, as long as the display has enough DPI, it's a non-issue. At my last job I was happily running 1.35 scaling, and I run my TV at 1.5 scaling. Make sure you're using a sane compositor, which excludes DWM; most Wayland compositors should run just fine.

Forget fractional scaling, just keep scale at 100% and increase font and icon sizes.

on omarchy ill switch with super + / and use 1x, 1.6x and 2x when needed.

1.6x works surprisingly well now, that wasnt the case a couple years ago
