Why oh why does every decent laptop have a 1080p screen? Apparently, if I want something other than 1080p I either buy a MacBook and pay the Apple Tax, or I buy something overpriced and often terrible in every other way?

So it’s not really a tax then, it’s a quality cost.

Because Linux's support for HiDPI (specifically, fractional scaling) is limited.
