It appears that a team of System76 engineers discussed last week with Martin Wimpress of the Ubuntu Desktop team and the leader of the Ubuntu MATE flavor about the improvements that could be made to the HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) support for the Unity 7 user interface of Ubuntu. We’re not saying the HiDPI support is lacking in Ubuntu, but it can be improved in some areas to offer users an out-of-the-box HiDPI experience for their 4K Oryx Pro and BonoboWS laptops manufactured by System76.
