A quote from the article.
"If you think this idea is a bit stupid, shed a tear for the future of the display servers: this same mechanism is essentially how Wayland compositors —Wayland being the purported future replacement for X— cope with mixed-DPI setups."
- mxmilkiib 1y agoaw I thought one of the advantages of Wayland is better DPI scaling now where did I hear that, many years ago.. sad that corporate interests (or wetf) are blocking X11 updates, though I don't trust the quality of Xlibre given the regressions the dev introduced previously was planning to go back to Sway once I finally get a 4K monitor..
- orangeboats 1y agoA bit disingenuous to quote an outdated fact. Wayland has supported "proper" DPI (i.e. one without downscaling) for quite a while now, and it's been widely implemented across the ecosystem (on the server side: KDE, GNOME, wlroots-based compositors, Smithay-based compositors, on the client side: GTK, Qt, SDL).
- the_mitsuhiko 1y agoThat is only the fallback path in Wayland.
