- vladvasiliu 5y agoThis is what I usually do. I run 4k at "100%", but then I increase font size as needed. I usually don't care about the icons, widgets, etc since I rarely interact with them, so to me, it's actually a good thing they're small. This way everything is plenty sharp, and I also get more screen real estate. The reason I use a 4k screen is to have sharp text, so I try to avoid scaling.
- kuschku 5y agoThat’s why – despite being a free software advocate – I currently run Windows for all critical software, as on Windows I can scale content without re-scaling windows. (Qt and Android support it as well, but Gnome and macOS don’t).
- vladvasiliu 5y agoI'm not using Gnome, but scaling the text works fine for GTK apps on I3.
- kuschku 5y agoYes, but Elementary, Android, Windows and Qt can scale icons and all elements together with the text to any arbitrary scale, pixel-perfect, without any post-processing. GTK can only scale text, or scale the whole window to 2x, 3x, etc and then scale it back down in post-processing.
