--- Comment #27 from Artem S. Tashkinov aros@gmx.com --- I was basically told to **** off and stop using Open Source. Maybe you're right. It doesn't seem entirely fair given how much I've invested in Open Source over the past 20+ years but it is what it is.
It doesn't seem fair given that Linux is often offered as a better alternative to Windows but it surely looks like some developers don't share this opinion and insist users must buy high DPI displays to keep on using Linux. Maybe Linux has suddenly become a sort of luxury but I surely don't want to participate in this.
I will downgrade from future Fedora releases which will make using Pango 1.43 impossible to CentOS 8 which still uses the same old "bad" "inefficient" "outdated" font stack and then when CentOS 8 become unsuitable for me I will probably give up on Linux altogether. I don't have spare $600 to buy a monitor just to continue to use Linux. I have much better things in life to spend this money on. Spending them on pixels is a vanity fair.
I'm deeply sorry for wasting everyone's time here and spamming this bugzilla with worthless requests. It's the worst interaction I've ever had with Open Source for the past 24 years but maybe I'm just unlucky since my eyes are my most prized asset. I will surely choose my eyes over Linux any time of the day.
Thank you for your attention. Have a nice day!
