FRACTIONAL SCALING!!! FINALLY!!!

Huh? Gnome has had fractional scaling for ages.
All it takes is changing a gconf setting.

The option was there, but it wasn’t ready for every day use. The performance impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable. The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it

/shrug
I’ve been using it on my multiple monitor setup for well over a year with no noticeable performance impact.

Not officially. And it has been broken.
- aleph ( @aleph@lemm.ee ) English1•10 months ago
It’s been working flawlessly for me for quite some time, but I guess other people’s mileage may vary.

Oh, it was a bitch for me. Lol

Seems like a solid bunch of iterative improvements!

When can we (if ever) expect that auto-tiling thingy?
- Justin ( @jlh@lemmy.jlh.name ) 18•10 months ago
There’s no timeline or roadmap at this stage, but it’s definitely 46+ material and likely to take multiple cycles. There are individual parts of this that could be worked on independently ahead of the more contingent pieces, for example tiling groups or new window metadata. Help in any of these areas would be appreciated.

So weird randomly seeing the name of my home city.

You live in the city of “Introducing?”
That’s pretty cool.

If it’s anything like the city of Introducing where I live, the next town over is Regretting.

I recently installed Debian with Gnome on a laptop, and the UI is miles and miles better than what it was ~7 years ago. It used to feel old and like a knockoff of Windows XP or something. Now I only want to use Gnome on Linux. Huge credit to the Gnome team for all of these UI improvements they’ve been making, it’s a serious amount of work gone into things.

This is super exciting! As mundane as it sounds, I’m especially hyped for the pointer optimizations. No more laggy cursor on my older machines. :)

So fractional scaling is useful now? Or it’s still blurry mess?
