To continue trying to support LXer by suggesting stories and providing more original content. I was less successful than I wanted to be last year, but did provide a few original content articles and a number of stores.
My resolution is the same, too: 1360x768.

Is that with the nouveau driver?

Sadly, no. The nouveau driver can't keep up with video rendering on my 8-year-old hardware. :( Or, it can, but only on a lower resolution, and it doesn't support RandR properly. The libcaca driver did a better job.
1920x1080 -- I need a lot of elbow room.
1600x900 - because text is too tiny on a 17" laptop screen at 1920x1080 for me.
@seatex, sounds like your DPI isn't set properly.

No, that's the native (max) resolution of the display in my laptop. I like higher resolution on larger screen sizes though.
My New Year's resolution is also the same as last year:
3840x2160 on the desktops
3200x1800 on the notebook
1920x1080 on the phone
Xfce has some nice tweaks that you can use to set DPI to suit, so all the fonts look nice and readable in all form-factors.
Regarding those _other_ resolutions, when I find something I should be doing I tend to start doing it right away without waiting for New Year to provide a motivation, so basically I have no NY resolutions, or maybe you could say that I have collected many throughout the year, depending on your point of view.

And I thought 1536x2048 on my wife's 8" Asus tablet was impressive....
At what point though, do you think, the resolutions are higher than we can visually perceive and just start becoming a drain on the CPU/GPU? Or is that even an issue anymore?
