Sounds like a reviewer had issues with a HiDPI laptop. The article is here

The discussion is visible in LWN's RSS feed. Thus far
I see two short threads:
https://lwn.net/Articles/974365/
https://lwn.net/Articles/974381/
Maybe TDE devs can add some useful info to the latter thread.
Sometimes LWN subscribers can make the article public before the
two-week period expires. Until then we'll have to wait to see what the
author actually wrote.
My wild guess is Joe Brockmeier, newly hired at LWN, is the author. Joe
has been around free/libre circles for a few decades.
The title of the article, "Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support" is off
putting. This is something I inferred in a previous post that because
TDE is not "new" or "shiny" that people should disregard all efforts.
What I find puzzling is people do not use the same condescending
verbiage when referring to MATE -- a fork of GNOME 2, or Xfce, a desktop
environment with very slow development cycles. Many people do not use
that kind of verbiage when referring to various window managers that
have been around since the 1990s. So why the useless jabs at TDE? This
type of cynicism has been ongoing since the original KDE 3 fork.
Perhaps the TDE documentation and wiki should be reviewed to minimize
any mention of being a fork. Just focus on TDE being its own software?
But this is the way many people think. Not new or shiny -- "Meh."
