Not automatically but when you open a dead link you can ease the pain by using an extension such as "page archive" [1] to quickly search an archive such as the wayback machine and perhaps get something useful out of it. I've

No, 200% is rendering 4 pixels with "features" 2x larger in each axis. You may get 200% scaling as you said with some legacy apps that give zero fucks about dpi scaling but are still scaled trough some mechanism to properly match

I used to a long time ago but even back then I was getting more value out of q4wine (a defunct project now) than from CodeWeavers stuff. Granted, I was perhaps too "enthusiast" using git versions of wine with staging patches and m

I believe everything could be solved the same way we solved high dynamic range in audio, with a volume control. I find it pretty weird that all tvs and most monitors hide the brightness adjustment under piles and piles of menus when it coul

If you haven't used linux desktop for a while, even a year ago, try again. Use a bleeding edge distro like the latest Ubuntu or Fedora ideally running Wayland and you will be surprised how smooth and feature-full it has become, with go
