From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even without considering laptops, I can already imagine quite a few circumstances where someone might want monitors of differing DPIs. I've actually thought sometimes of getting a smaller monitor I can have off to the side that I display a browser window containing mostly text on when I'm playing videogames or working in something like Blender or Aseprite; yknow, for referencing a guide, wiki, or manual or something. I don't even have a super high desire for a multi-monitor setup outside of that.
