Is that with the nouveau driver?

No, that's the native (max) resolution of the display in my laptop. I like higher resolution on larger screen sizes though.

6:40 PM EST 		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?
