Is it "late October" yet?

I was using my ASUS TF700T with Linux. It's got 1080P resolution and a roughly 10" screen. Sizes can be changed on things so it's not a massive deal. I didn't stand a chance with everything at the default size on that screen.
What I can say is that with the DPI adjusted it's really nice. Because any anti-aliasing / subpixel font rendering is much smaller because of the pixel size it makes text much more crisp to look at.

The higher resolution isn't a bad thing.

Edit: Although I'm sure the devs are working hard on KDE, I'm sorry but I'll be changing that out straight away, if not the entire distribution to something lighter weight.

Higher resolution always comes at a hidden cost of more data to put on the screen (squared), if that can be done somehow by the GPU and accelerated driver then fine.  I've heard iphones are 1920x1080 but I never spent more than a few seconds looking at one.  I think you can run it at 1366x768, which is about right, by setting the video modes, maybe that's only for HDMI.

I like old-school terminal emulators like rxvt (and I spend much time in the Joe editor) because they don't redefine as many keys.  Both Joe and mc have their own set of ctrl and alt key definitions, there isn't room for the terminal emulator grabbing some of them.  It should act like a terminal, period.  And those use fonts with sizes in pixels, not points.  Not Truetype, the sort that xfontsel shows.  If somebody gave me one I'd live with it, but this blows about 2 month's toy budget so I want it right.

KDE, yuck, and Gnome and Enlightenment.  What I call the "run your life" window managers, because they take on so many roles besides just being a window manager.  But it's worthwhile to install something else and keep the KDE libraries so you can run KDE program, same with Gnome.  Just set the default to something else in alternatives.
