Variable DPI is still an issue though? I haven’t figured out a way to have things seamless and nice with both a 4K screen and a 19” 720p at the same time.

- vetinari 5y agoSupport for multi-DPI monitors is Wayland-only; nobody is going to retrofit that into Xorg. So if you are using distro that uses X11 by default, it will not work. If you use distro that uses Wayland by default, it works out of the box.
- rossy 5y agoMulti-monitor high-DPI will probably never work well in Xorg, but most Wayland compositors support it just fine. I switched to Sway a few months back and it's great. Unlike in Windows, when a window straddles a high-DPI and lo-DPI monitor, it's not big on one monitor or small on the other. It stays the same virtual size on both and the window contents quietly re-renders itself in high or low DPI when it's dragged between them.
