And there's no standard hidpi way for applications to work, so ymmv. Some apps won't understand your settings. So you'll tweak some env for them. Then some apps will double recognize your settings.
- seba_dos1 8y agoWell, it Just Works™ on my out-of-box Plasma. The only things I needed to tune manually were git-gui and choosing a hidpi theme in GIMP.

- seba_dos1 8y agoYes, it does. This is an equivalent of selecting "compatibility mode" for that one old Windows app you still use. Also, this is on X11. On Wayland you don't even have to do that, as non-hidpi aware apps get automatically scaled up. (and amusingly, just yesterday I had an occasion to test it truly out-of-the-box and turns out that things improved over past few years and now both GIMP and git-gui work just fine - and both are rendered in full resolution)
