However on the other side of things, my wife has windows 11 and rather than scale the
fonts large (fonts specifically), she adjusted the desktop resolution down to 1366x768
(from 1920x1080). I hate it, but she couldn't see anything in Quicken or Word, (her go to
software).
I find it a sad state that MS seems to know that things are too small, that's why they
recommend 125% or 150% scaling. Rather than leave a HDPI resolution but scale up the UI
alone.
Maybe I'm not savvy enough but it just seems wrong. With the post war baby-boomers coming
older and eye sight not 20-20 you'd think things like that would be a design to look into.
