2025, the year I switch from wayland to Xorg.

Why? Because I bought a new screen.
Huh? Well, I don't know either.
Plasma 6 on wayland worked fine with my fullhd-screen. Yesterday, I powered the box down, switched to my new hi(gher)dpi screen, powered it on, got the bios post, boot messages, and a black screen instead of sddm. An hour later I found that sddms wayland support is experimental still, so I switched it to X, and got a black screen when my plasma-wayland session was to start. So, switched to plasma-x11 and everything is fine.
Other compositor (tested sway) are fine. 🤷

Don't know if it's nixos or plasma, I'll probably try a live usb later.
So yeah, it's the year 2025 and I'm on X. Well, could be worse, could be the other X.

Was playing around with the #MacMini. Hooked up #HDMI to my #4K monitor expecting to be able to use a scaled resolution (in my case, 3072x1728 #HIDPI). Wouldn't work. Only worked in #LODPI. Then I read this article - a little disturbing. Apparently the M4 can't run HIDPI 4K across HDMI. But I CAN run it with a dumb TB -> dongle -> HDMI setup like I was forced to do on the Macbook Air (due to no HDMI port). For real?! That is fucking STUPID. forums.macrumors.com/threads/f

MacRumors ForumsFor LG OLED users: Mac mini M4 does not support HiDPI 4k over HDMI 2.1EDIT: 4k @120HZ is working with M4/M4 Pro. This thread is about running at a scaled/downsampled "looks like" 3840x2160 resolution, which is not currently supported on M4. I am starting a new thread with all known information about the lack of 4k HiDPI support with the M4/M4 Pro Mac mini, as...

Anyone here using scaling under in any shape or form, besides ? And can compare the two? I am using as my and I struggle to get as sharp scaling for some apps compared to what does, although I am not sure if it uses the real wayland or ... everything so confusing. But if anybody has input I would be eager to hear.

Since Friday:

> If I bum @amerl's then tools are going to improve this weekend.

- Concrete ideas for HiDPI troubleshooting tools
- Tracked down the bug in that causes some apps (like `git gui`) to not have HiDPI text (while others like `gitk` are unaffected). It's already fixed in 9.y beta, so I need to convince them it's worth backporting to 8.6.z stable.
- Reproduced a bug in the Plasma6 screen locker that had been closed as fixed.

Continued thread

But, seeing as my issue is one of #acessibility, you need only turn on "Accessibility > Seeings > Large Text" under #GNOME settings, which does give you the same 1x scaling UI elements, but with bigger text - which... takes some getting used to.

I dunno, guys. Larger text, or fractional scaling. Which is best? Mind you, I have a 1080p screen with high pixel density - which is like having the #HiDPI equivilant of an honourable mention.

Early versions of #Windows (up through the 9x series) had an option for "Large Fonts" in order to make text more legible on #HiDPI displays (which, at the time, meant >72 dpi or so), but applications were rarely optimized for it. You'd often end up with labels larger than buttons or text spilling out of controls. Many readme files included a note telling you to use Small Fonts to avoid problems.

When it *did* work, though, it looked pretty good.

So I bought a new monitor to replace a faulty one.
I went from three LG 4K screens, to two LG 4K screens and one HP 4K screen.

Minor change, you would think. After all, the resolution of all the screens still remain the same.

So why are half of my applications too small and the other half of my applications too big?

The mysteries of DPI scaling on a Linux desktop.

I still have no idea why #SVG icons are showing up blurry in #HiDPI on tiles and in the All Apps list until they're force-reloaded either by resizing the tile or scrolling enough, and I tried to use this file to fix it after trying to fix it myself when it seemingly broke in a #QtQuick update a few versions ago. At this point I'm wondering if I should just ditch QtQuick because blurry icons are really annoying, and the #PinePhone is likely to be used in HiDPI.
