Description

The recommended hardware list does not recommend specific screen resolution ranges. Yet, the current client application does not behave well in low resolutions:

There is an old ticket to make the client behave well in these constrained systems: freedomofpress/securedrop-ux#110, but improving the old client is out of question. So we might as well settle on a recommendation.

Proposed actions:

  • Docs: specify minimum resolution for both the new and the old client (so the client doesn't get trimmed) and maximum recommended resolutions (Qubes does not have out-of-the-box scaling)
  • Set the reference resolution in OpenQA

How will this impact SecureDrop/SecureDrop Workstation users?

How would this affect the SecureDrop Workstation threat model?

No impact

As an a hardware procurement person, I'd to buy a device that doesn't need to be returned later due to something I didn't know upfront.
