Apple has announced a laptop with "retina display" = 2880x1800 pixels resolution on 15 inches.
If one were to load Ubuntu on such a machine, it would probably be unreadably micro-texted as long as Ubuntu treats one pixel as one pixel.

Would it be possible to adjust Ubuntu to use such a display in a meaningful way? Difficult? Easy?

It will work if you adjust the DPI settings for the fonts. You have several options:

  1. Using gnome-tweak-tool: Advanced settings > Fonts > Text scaling factor
  2. Using dconf-editor: org > gnome > desktop > interface > text-scaling-factor

Sample of resolution change through command line

/usr/bin/xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1200

Simply run

xrandr

to list all available resolution
