> Linux isn't really there yet. On my 3200x1800 XPS13 running Fedora, it took quite a bit of tweaking to get a usable desktop.

That's odd. I've got an Asus ZenBook (UX305FA) running Fedora 25 with Gnome. I'm using my BenQ BL2710PT at its regular 2560 x 1440 resolution and it looks great. Other than adjusting the brightness a little I didn't have to do any tweaks.

27" at 2560x1440 is not high DPI and doesn't require UI upscaling. On e.g. a MacBook Retina you would not be able to read anything without upscaling because the pixel density is so high. It's the main reason I still use OS X on my MBP.

Thanks for the clarification.

For reference, a Retina 5K iMac is 27" and its native resolution is 5120x2880, exactly 4x as many pixels.

Same for me. Works extremely well nowadays.

Only application that doesn't scale is yEd, but it's 3rd party closed sourve and it doesn't scale on OS X or Windows either.
