I wonder how many people opt for the higher density assuming it'll make a significant difference without really knowing what the visual threshold for being able to see a noticeable difference is.
- wlesieutre 10y ago^ This right here is my complaint, thanks for putting it succinctly.
- scurvy 10y agoHiDPI on Linux is still bad/spotty. If you run Linux, you'll see the difference quickly. Typed on a Razer 13" with QHD display that I'm still constantly messing with (FC25 Cinnamon).
- izacus 10y agoWould that be because you're using a desktop that's not HiDPI ready?
- scurvy 10y agoI had massive issues with the others (KDE5/Plasma, Unity, Gnome 3, etc). Cinnamon is actually the best in terms of usability. The other windoow managers were straight busted in terms of UI scaling, ability to sleep, disable the touchpad while typing, screensaver, etc.
- metafunctor 10y agoHave you actually compared the same content on a 200 PPI screen vs. a 300 PPI screen? Even though you cannot see the individual pixels, text on a 300 PPI screen appears much sharper (when scaled to be the same physical size, of course). The "visual threshold" doesn't mean "you will not see anything smaller than this so it cannot physically matter". You can still see a hairline even if it's less than 1/300 inch wide.
