| From: Anil Felipe Duggirala <anilduggirala@xxxxxxxxxxx> | I have a laptop with a high dpi monitor, 4k on a 15" screen. 'Im on F36, Gnome. | I'm wondering whats the better alternative, change the resolution of the display or use scaling? (performance and usability) | Is there any update on fractional scaling? It didn't work last time I tried it (just really weird behavior, on Wayland at least). Fractional scaling works for me. But maybe I don't do anything tricky. There may be a better way, but this is what I use: dconf write /org/gnome/mutter/experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']" Yeah, my 15.6" UltraHD notebook display is a little too high resolution to use straight. In less extreme cases, I adjust each browser or terminal window as-needed, when needed. One hopes that Gnome scaling does a better job of anti-aliasing than running the display in a non-native resolution. But I don't actually know. As an experiment, I looked at text in a Gnome Terminal on my UltraHD 15.6" display. Without any scaling settings, each character looks beautifully formed, even when examined through a magnifying glass. It is still beautiful after three or four shrinks. Perhaps nothing is lost just pretending the screen is FullHD. But that's just text. I'm sure fonts are better on Gnome Terminal than on xterm (I used that for about 20 years). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
