Last line I agree with.
The rest, not so much. Applications work only if they do the right thing. Applications could do the right thing on X11 too. They don't just like the "old" applications on Windows.
Anyway, you've dragged this away from the general points: issues with Linux GUI toolkits have little to do with XWindow, and Apple's GUI toolkits have had to evolve just as the Linux ones have.
- 0x457 3y agoI may have outdated infor, but last time I checked on X11 apps while they could be DPI-aware, they don't handle mismatched DPI well - I had to choose between everything being small on my 4k screen or everything is blurry on my 1440p screen. I've hard-coded some DPI settings for certain apps that I always display on the same monitor. Meanwhile, I have zero issues with the same pair of monitors on Windows and macOS. I daily drive all 3 of them.
