My 15" Lenovo C940 with the 4K screen is a _much_ higher resolution in pixels-per-inch than the so-called "retina" screen.

And all the software "just works" at this resolution nicely.

Are you running Windows or Linux on that? I'm a MacOS user but I'd love to know if it's possible to have a good high-res-screen experience on a Linux laptop.

Windows, of course. It would probably be an awful experience on Linux. You want the "happy path" of NVIDIA Windows drivers, etc. Of course, Windows has first-class support for Linux so you can have the best of both worlds.
