Fractional scaling is stupid. 150% × 4K = 1440p so just buy 1440p screen but
150% on 4K will mean misaligned pixel grid. If you need more real estate _and_
want HiDPI then you need 5K display, not 4K. 5K is 1440p@2.

Fractional scaling should be under seven “Are you sure? What you’re doing is
stupid.” pop-ups. Instead at least Windows 10 actually makes 150% the default.
Boggles my mind.

 Fractional scaling is stupid. 150% × 4 K = 1440p so precisely buy 1440p screen but 
 150% on 4 K will entail misaligned pixel grid. If you need more actual estate _ and _ 
 want HiDPI then you want 5 K display, not 4K. 5 K is 1440p@2.
