Ask HN: HiDPI Linux Laptop Suggestions?
I'm looking for a HiDPI laptop that supports Linux, where HiDPI is something in the 248-312ppi range[1], preferably a current generation CPU.
StarLabs StarFighter looks good, but is unreleased and MacBook Pro priced. XPS 13 Plus 9320 could work, but OLED can be finicky.
Other suggestions welcome.

Make the next display 220ppi
250ppi should work even better! If I remember correctly, Apple use non-integer scaling on their 220ppi laptops (MacBook Air/Pro 13") by default. From what I can tell their ~250ppi laptops (MacBook Pro 14"/16") do use integer scaling (200%) though.

- ElementaryOS 7 is a buggy mess of a distro. Very disappointed.

[Feature Request] - Pop Shop still does not show where an installation is coming from (normal apt/apt-get, Flatpak, Snap, etc.)
But it's a fork of https://github.com/elementary/appcenter

How to uninstall Mail, Calendar, Tasks in elementary 7?
There's already an open issue about it, and u/daniellefore has a lead on what could be the cause.

PopStore Freezing constantly.
The Pop!Shop isn't based of GNOME Software, but rather Elementary's Appcenter. I'm pretty sure it's a completely separate project. If I remember correctly, System76 worked with Elementary on this app.

Fedora should make their own software center to replace discover and gnome software center
Pop!_OS's "pop shop" is actually not their own creation. They borrowed/adapted it from another Ubuntu based distro ElementaryOS (these two projects seem to have a good working relationship and have borrowed from one another to the benefit of both). But credit where credit is due, the "Pop shop" is an attractive and well branded implementation/fork of the Elementary App Center. The pop team does make this clear on their github but most users seem unaware.

Please make a functional appstore
It works for me, but if you have any problems or a negative experience, describing this issue on GitHub (https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues) would be great!

hello I am a new user and I put elementary OS on my laptop and I can't get it Wi-Fi to work any ideas.
Try connecting with ethernet or thether your phone with USB. See here for a solution. Proposed drivers will not install correctly without proper kernel headers though I think it was fixed in a recent update. https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/1603
