I'm hoping they can get a Gnome environment with high DPI support that isn't ridiculously crash prone...
With my Arch install with a basically stock Gnome configuration (and Linux LTS and Nvidia LTS drivers), I have two 4k 28" monitors which means I need fractional scaling. So I have to make some X11 config file for that, which works, except that gnome-session core dumps any time the screen is locked.
And of course, that means all my apps are closed which is incredibly annoying. Gnome 3 used to be pretty reliable, it seems to have taken a nose dive in reliability recently.
I'm at the point now where instead of rebooting into Windows to do something I can only do on Windows, I'm rebooting into Linux to do what I can only do on Linux.
- fgonzag 9y agoHave you tried the Windows Subsystem for Linux? I've found it to be great. Since I basically use Linux for either python development or server administration, a full linux shell is basically all I need to fulfill my linux needs.
- rhinoceraptor 9y agoIt’s what I use at work, but I’m not super happy with it. It seems to crash quite a bit unless you work exclusively in the Linux filesystem. So you lose a lot of the advantages of having a native Unix desktop.
