Mint's HiDPI is simply the best experience on Linux these days, not to mention it just works. But let's attack it because it doesn't conform to some autistic standards of ours. Way to go friendly Linux community! Let's make all distros unusable, super complex, require all people to wear their own personal TPMs and certificates so that they can feel finally secure. Let's blame Mint for not having DNA real-time sequencers for confirming package authenticity! Let's force my grandma to compile all her packages - she must be upgraded as well or she won't make it during singularity, right? /s
You are blaming Mint for things that are wrong in some context with Debian/Ubuntu or Linux or even unsolved in computing as such. And the small team of developers simply can't respond to every single issue within minutes as you wish, they have their plate full.
- ergo14 11y agoSorry between Mint and Gnome 3 - Gnome seems to have better HiDPI support, but cinnamon is close :)
- cookiecaper 11y agoGnome 3 only allows whole integer steps in DPI scaling. This means that the options for me are a) too small at 1x or b) too big at 2x. I use a scale factor of 1.4x in KDE. I haven't tested on Cinnamon, so I don't know if it accepts non-integers for scaling.
- ergo14 11y agoIt doesn't I tried this recently ;) I would gladly use KDE - I like it, but this https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162211 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162211 is still not fixed after so many years (and no - the title is not updated - it doesn't affect only remote media)
