I have used GNOME with HiDPI for two years on Wayland and it is great. Even Tk apps seem to support HiDPI these days.
However, this is all assuming that 2x scaling is fine for you, support for fractional scaling is not great yet.
- arboghast 7y agoNah it's too big on a 28" 4k, trust me I tried everything before going back to Windows, even using Gnome Shell (which I despise) and experimental fractional scaling (which barely works, freezes and scales back to 100% randomly)
- robocat 7y agoUbuntu 18.04 using 2x scaling is broken in lots of little ways for me. From the simple (boot screen runs at 1x so text is unreadable) to the wierd (VirtualBox tangle of bugs), to the frustrating (dolphin file manager, which I use to avoid UI bugs in the gnome file manager). I found workarounds for some issues, and maybe they are fixed in the next LTS, but there is no way I could recommend 18.04 with 4k to a non-professional.
