The picture is more mixed than you present.
I use Fedora at 2560x1440@14" and 2 by 3840x2160@27 and the dpi thing isn't an issue, set your font scaling to 1.5 and that's about all you need to do.
I dual boot windows and fedora (for gaming in the former and dev in the latter) and Windows 10 is by far more unpleasant to deal with, updates that tie your machine up for significant time, drivers are still "track down random binary from random vendor site and hope it works" vs "sudo dnf update" is (for me) no comparison at all.
Into the territory of personal preference, Cinnamon is a better desktop on than Windows - it's more responsive, more cohesive, closer to the classic WIMP interfaces I prefer.
As for wayland, I don't use it yet, I will when it's been stable for a year or two.
- calaphos 6y agoIn my experience high DPI actually works somewhat decently and those fractional stuff can be fixed with don't scaling. At least if you only use one monitor. I personally have two I would use with 1.25x and no scaling which is just not possible with the x11 model. Additionally having two monitors completely breaks vsync with very ugly tearing lines. And Wayland on Nvidia has been very unsuccessful for me. Even when I got it to run the performance in e.g. firefox was absolutely terrible. Sadly Wayland is necessary if you want hardware video decoding.
- noir_lord 6y agoIn Firefox you can force hardware acceleration in about config which resolves tearing for me on scroll, it's off by default for conservative reasons.
