>1366x768 >comfy Even 1920x1080/3840x2160 is cramped these days. The least you should be using is 3840x2160 if you're not a gaymer, and 5120x2880 if you can afford it.

640x480 is good enough

this post is dumb you're dumb

>Even 3840x2160 is cramped these days There is no situation where this could possibly be true. You're either using a 120" TV or you set your scaling way too high and have no idea how to fix it. Either way you're a liar and a faggot.
3840x2160 gives you a 1920x1080 workspace with 2x scaling, newfag.

Bananas are yellow newfag

If you scale to non-integer values you're doing it wrong. Fuck, if you're using Windows you're doing it VERY wrong.

What the fuck are you talking about? I never said anything related to any of that
My point is if 4k isn't enough room for you're retarded. Maybe pick up some reading comprehension ability next time you're out.
Adam Gutierrez
Then you're just an idiot. I said 1920x1080 was cramped, so logically that means 3840x2160, which only makes sense with 2x scaling, is too cramped as well.
You are the one who needs to learn reading comprehension. I gave you the benefit of doubt, but of course this is Sup Forums.

Bought the ThinkPad for $140. Had the 1GB stick and HDD laying around. Gonna throw a 128GB SSD in it for Fedora KDE, a 1TB HDD for media, 8GB RAM, and a 9-cell battery when money allows.

This begs the question
Once you fully upgrade a x220, upgrading every single part, is it still the same x220 you had at the beggining ?
no, you've nickel and dimed yourself to a $600 laptop

Programming isn't coding, nigger. If you are going to program than learn information theory, it'll help you understand computers at a deeper level.

Lol mate no >1920x1080 is too cramped for me cause im a shithipster therefore its too cramped for everyone
Whoa Its like New software sometimes has problems later on or something (Refer back to earlier versions of binux)
