I wasn't able to get it to work as recently as two years ago. Would you share a link to your recipe?

- vetinari 5y agoJust use wayland, done.
- Too 5y agoWould have loved to agree, but unfortunately using nvidia.
- LukeShu 5y agoI did a write-up of the low-levels of how it works on Xorg: https://reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/c8hgt8/my_laptop_has_a_high_dpi_and_im_currently_looking/esn0x71/ https://reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/c8hgt8/my_laptop_has... Missing from that: - Gnome actually does the scaling in the compositor, not in the X server itself. - Most desktop environments should be doing all that for you. At the time I wrote that (over 2 years ago), in Gnome you had to go in to an advanced settings menu and enable "experimental fractional scaling"; I'm not sure if that's still true today. - Some things pick up the DPI from the XSETTINGS protocol, not from the XRDB. Specifically, parts of Java's AWT/Swing do this. But other parts use the XRDB. And they conflict with eachother. When I last looked at Swing (April-ish 2020) it was impossible to get it to do the right thing on X11 (I was working on a patch, but then I had some life disruptions and never came back to it).
- Lio 5y agoI don't have a recipe as such I just installed Fedora running Wayland and Gnome and it just works out of the box. If you want something custom I guess I'd suggest looking at what Fedora uses out of the box. I'm running on an all Intel XPS13 9370 if that helps.
