What the actual fuck Gnome? I cannot choose a middle point.
What use case do you have for that?
>>102416519Your hardware does not support fractional scaling
What's the use case for fractional scaling?
>>102416583>install Windows instead of Memedistro >my hardware suddenly magically supports fractional scalingreally makes you think
>>102416633>b-but ...Your hardware does not support fractional scaling.
To use case fractional scaling you have to use case the terminal use casegsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
>>102416633Probably doesn't use hardware acceleration. But this is bad for both the battery life and the climate, so it is a good thing that GNU/Linux doesn't support it
I updated and there's now a toggle for fractional scaling. Meh
>>102416519Not a problem on COSMIC.
>>102419594DON'T MENTION THAT THING! NO NEGATIVITY IN THE DOJO!
>>102419594Buy an ad
>>102416519Freetroons BTFOJust use windows lmao, it works
>>102416519Freesisies...
>>102421040The reason I'm installing Gnome is because Windows is an incredible piece of shit. I need to use Ubuntu since that's the only thing the fucking onboarding software supports. Otherwise you're talking to debian+xfce+awesomewm masterrace.
>>102421047>breakes scaling on other monitors
>>102416519it's ok on KDE Plasma, you can't set the super key to overview, the one feature I love about gnome.
>>102416519>>102421040>>102421047fractional scaling is a liethere's not such thing a half pixels if you do fractional scaling, elements will look blurry
>>102416519no such thing as fractional pixelsif you have bad eyesight consider increasing font scale instead of fucking everything>but muh windows does itand blurs everything in process>>102421349this
>>102416665And then everything gets blurry as shit because the retards made it scale windows from 1x to 1.5x instead of just rendering 2x and scaling down
>>102421349>>102421404>kde solved it 2 years ago>windows solved it forever ago>impossible
>>102421460what makes you think "solving" it is a metric?
>>102416519Noninteger scaling is awful and ugly and GNOME was right to copy Apple instead of bending over forwards like Microsoft did for all the shitty monitors out there that have stupid sizes like 4K 27", which should be either 5K or 24" or come with a big sticker that says FOR AWFUL EYES ONLY.
>>102416583Fractional scaling is not a hardware support thing, anon...
>>102416519gnome developers are transgender please understando.
>>102416519>gnome>a fucking foot>the de that thought the minimize button was bloat
Maybe you should use KDE, the only decent desktop for Linux
>>102416519 my ubuntu install can do it though
>>102421691apple OS renders everything at 2x res and then downscales it to native res
>>102416583Loonix is a hobby OS
>>102416519Works in Xfce
>>102421460By what metric do you deem that they solved it?Don't say sharpness.
>>102416671>But this is bad for both the battery life and the climate, so it is a good thing that GNU/Linux doesn't support itI thought enforcing settings upon users was a Windows thing?
>>102416519>this faggot garbage again.there is no such thing as functional fractional scaling. stop buying shitty monitors retard.
>>102421460it isn't solved.>use Winshit>switch from monitor to internal display>extremely color fringing blurry dogshitwow, powerful.
>>102425004fucking keking at these lintroons coping and seething in this thread
>>102425004sure, but developer time is limited, why would they waste their time with software scaling, that is slow, inefficient, less than 1% users need it and increases your carbon footprint?They have better things to do with their time
>>102416519Use the Wayland session.
>>102416519Stop using gnome, dipshit. How the fuck is this not drilled into your skull? Going into any Linux thread you'll have people bitching about gnome. Stop fucking using it
>>102425238>They have better things to do with their timeLike developing linshit libraries which are the software dev equivalent of playing with action figures...
>>102425238>why would they waste their timeBecause that's what their user base wants?
>>102425019>windows does it>macos does it>kde does it>even cosmic in alpha does itkys and stay kys
>>102425055Stop using Qt apps abandoned 20 years ago.
>>102425262Installing anything but GNOME is retarded.
>>102425505just having the date and time in the middle of the top bar tells you everything you need to know about this shitware
>>102425564GNOME 3x... home...
>>102425564What the fuck is that spacing between "May" and "6"?
>>102425297people who have such large monitors that they need scaling have more than enough money to buy some other OS, Linux is charityware for small time peasants and broke college students.
>>102426467The date and the time are two separate objects
>>102426537And how much effort will it take to make that spacing even?
>>102426550use case?
>>102426574kek
>>102426550I don't know, I've never tried. But again, you're thinking about it wrong. It's not one clock, it's two separate indicators that form one button, just like the system notifiers on the rightI enable the day of the week on my system and notice that it's spaced the same way, because it's part of the single date widget
>>102426589Okay, thank you for telling me why it's wrong.But how many config file docs would I need to read in order to know how to fix it?
>>102426626It not being laid out precisely as you're accustomed to doesn't make it wrongSpastic
>>102426645>It not being laid out precisely as you're accustomed to doesn't make it wrongWhat? I don't think you get how this works.I don't like how it is positioned, so it is wrong.Simple as.
I hope the GNOME devs continue not to listen to "community" "feedback"
>>102421407you've got that backwards
>>102425505You are a nigger
>>102426763fuck off ebussy
>>102426843you're all retarded, why would he listen to you>make it look like windowsno
>>102426908>why would he listen to youBecause his current way of thinking is causing GNOME to lose all of its users to Windows of all things? lol
>>102427053two more weeks
>>102427067OPEN YOUR EYES AND GAZE UPON REALITY
>>102427105no source?

>>102427138that's the blog you got the graph fromwhere is the data from
>>102427154>where is the data fromrandom.randint
>>102416519fractional scaling is dogshit, you're welcome
>>102427105Is that spike in the late 00s shitbuntu dropping unity or was that later?
>>102421691>have glorious 16:10 27" monitor>2560x1600>no scaling neededFeels good
>>102427467scale it to 50% for more screen real estate
>fractional scaling mentionedOk 85% of users gone right there. Just fucking scale. Warn if you want, but this fucking shit should work.
>>102428026why
>>102428334you don't need an answer; you're just looking to be argumentative because you're encapsulated in your own little world where you cannot see past your own hubes.
>>102428334Software has to work. Simple as. My computer works for me.
>>102427571Help I can't read anything anymore!It's funny how your suggestion sounds absurd (try and turn this into a shitty 5K monitor) but nobody seems to find anything wrong with buying a 5K monitor and using 200% scaling all the time to treat it like its 1600p unless you're pixel peeping images at native res.>no but I NEEEEEEEED 4K on my 13" laptop screenNo the fuck you don't. Stacy is the reason I can't have a nice, evenly lit, color accurate, wide gamut display of appropriate pixel density in a fucking laptop. Stacy will pry my 16:10 VA monitors from my cold dead hands. Harlot.
>>102428782How did you make this about hating women? Impressive.
>>102428882Replace Stacy with Chad or Joe Sixpack then. You're projecting. My point was that the masses (Stacy) see "4K" and think "4K good". Because they do. They don't care about viewing angles, color accuracy (beyond "it looks vibrant"), even backlighting, contrast ratio, response time, etc.4K is a buzzword. 3840x1920 is bigger than 1680x1050.
>>102428955Holy seethe.
>>102416519It's somewhere in the experimental settings. I think it's enabled by default on ubuntu or fedora. I think it was ubuntu
>>102416519There's no usecase for it.
>>102429354Cope
