As a die hardcore kde fan I am not of a fanboi enough to admit that Gnome has the best HiDPI multi-monitor wayland fractional scaling support of any DE I am aware of.
- dman 7y agoThings like dwm / i3 handle this much better since there isnt any UI to scale. You just set the right font size and you are good to go.
- majewsky 7y agoHiDPI support is more than setting a font size for the task bar. The tricky part is getting application windows to rescale their UI as they're moved between screens with different scaling factors (e.g. from a notebook screen with high DPI to a projector with low DPI).
- dman 7y agoThat was kind of my point - the more starkly minimalist the workflow the easier it is to make it pixel perfect and look exactly as you intended.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoSo the parts of the UI that are i3/dwm scale. Everything else like email, browser, image editing, applications, the stuff that actually matter, doesn't. Sure, if you only ever need a text editor you don't need to care about scaling anything but fonts, but that is not the case for most people and unrelated to which WM or DE you use.
- viraptor 7y agoIsn't gnome scaling only by whole numbers? Or did they get the fractional scaling out of experimental status? (Ubuntu 19.04 still had it as an experimental mutter setting)
