Everyone’s so excited about the wave if windows users coming to Linux. Those people already have monitors.
I switched in 2018 and was surprised I couldn’t use fractional scaling on one monitor like I’d been doing for years on windows.

Save money on the monitor, save money on the gpu (because it's pushing fewer pixels, you don't need as much oomph), save frustration with software.
Most high-DPI displays are simply the same thing with exactly twice the density.
We settled on putting exactly twice as many pixels in the same panels because it facilitates integer scaling
To maintain a clean 200% scale you need a 27" 5K panel instead, which do exist but are vastly more expensive than 4K ones and perform worse in aspects other than pixel density, so they're not very popular.
