- sgt 4y agoIf that's true then there's been substantial improvements on that front recently (which is good). As I recall, that was a tricky problem since your laptop screen likely runs another resolution, different DPI, etc so connecting to an additional screen makes things go haywire.
- caslon 4y agoThat's only with Wayland. If you don't use Wayland, the situation has been fine for a decade.
- School-Cotton 4y agoIt’s the other way around. Wayland supports different scale factors on different monitors; X doesn’t.
- caslon 4y agoWorks on my machine, anecdotally; no Wayland, and an X window manager that hasn't been updated in a decade. Automatically resizes windows when I drag them to fit each monitor's DPI settings.
- sgt 4y agoGlad to hear that. 2023, year of Linux on the desktop.
- sgt 4y agoBtw, does it allow you to run different scale on the different monitors? It wouldn't really be feasible to run native 4k resolution on one monitor if everything will be tiny, so it needs to have scale. One monitor might run on 1x and the other 2x.
- caslon 4y agoYes, it does, as I said in the comment above. It resizes windows according to their DPI settings, to keep a consistent scale.
