Ever since Linux support came out (2 years ago?), I go to check if they, finally, support “non-retina” “LoDPi” (a.k.a: a regular screen) yet, and sadly no :/

It's so incredibly frustrating. Text rendering is the primary feature of a code editor, but no one on the Zed team seems to use a non-retina screen.

This is not that surprising to me. Surely no-one wants to spend their day looking at the pixels?

I can't remember the last time I touched a hi-DPI display. They really aren't that common still, even in technical office environments - regular 1440p or 4K ~150 PPI displays work just fine.

E: Actually, I suppose my Samsung counts. But the point stands w.r.t. "real computer" displays.
