"Desktop" encompasses everything from ultrawide 8k monitors to 768p laptop screens where the user may have scaled down the browser window - and that's on brand new hardware, I know people who are still using 15+ years old laptops!

This alone means you either handle any window size and size ratio or your UI will break for some users.

You should spec your UI in device-independent units and let the GUI handle things like different pixel densities (or aspect ratios) and font sizes.
