Why can't GNOME still do HiDPI sanely when Windows 95 could do custom fractional scaling?

Why can't Windows 10 still do HiDPI sanely when Windows 95 could do custom fractional scaling?

>>60549161
good news op, it's because of a limitation in x11 and wayland is becoming a thing now

bad news is they don't seem all too concerned with taking advantage of the fact that limitation is gone now

But it works on X11 just fine and has for decades. As long as you don't have gtk-3 installed, that is. It's the wayland devs that can't seem to be able to handle the simple idea of users wanting larger fonts.

ChromeOS is the only OS that can properly scale.

no fractional display scaling which is most use cases, no variable display scaling

this was impossible in x11

even with a 4k display I've found 2x scaling to be too large, so fractional display scaling is needed

this is the main reason i've looked forward to wayland implementation

GNOME3 is shit full stop.
Alien for everyone, useful for no one.
>>
>>60550385
Is it really scaling or is it hard coded for certain MacBooks?
>>
>>60550385
macOS can't scale properly though, Apple just put in exactly 2x DPI screens so it was easy.
Better than Windows but a far cry of Job's hopes for resolution independence.

>>60550438
I just set my DPI to 144 and everything works just fine.
I have to set it twice because gtk-3 is retarded and doesn't accept the DPI setting from the X server, but other than that it just werks.

i use it since i do most things in the terminal anyway and just need something that will launch graphical programs with no fuss and be stable and look pretty
