I'm running Gnome on my retina displayed laptop and I can confirm that this is not true.
The high DPI suppport on gnome equates to 'SCALE ALL THE THINGS 2x DERPA DERPA DERP'
And the scaling is integer-based. So, I can choose 1x, 2x, or any other whole number. Useless as hell for me, who wishes it was probably 1.25x.
It sucks bad enough that I actually WISH I was on a 1080p screen, because with the 2x scaling i effectively have a 1324x768 pos screen.
- SmellyGeekBoy 9y agoThey introduced experimental support for fractional scaling in 3.26: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/enable-fractional-scaling-gnome-linux http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/enable-fractional-scaling...
- holtalanm 9y agoThis is good to know. I may have to try this out and see how it works. The other option is to just install KDE since they seem to have implemented HDPI support _correctly_.
- gdrift 9y agoYes, KDE on 4k looks good since 17.01. But non Qt/KDE GIMP, InkScape, Audacity, are still a pain to use on Linux with HiDPI.
