mercutio: i found high dpi seemed to work fine in linux
but i mostly just use chrome and terminals :) up_the_irons: acf_: oh yeah? I have a friend that recommended the WQHD screen, and he's a Linux guy. He would have figured out a way to get it working good
He also has an X1
acf_: what do you think about the nvme drive? ***: dne has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)

ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks acf_: up_the_irons: tbh I don't do anything that requires super high disk performance
so it's just another SSD to me
I've always put sata SSDs in my older thinkpads, and it feels the same
that's interesting you all have had different experiences with linux hidpi support
GTK+ apps mostly seem to work
chromium works fine
for Qt apps, usually half of the app will scale properly and half won't
so you'll get text that's too big for the box it's in and so it gets cut off
and tiny icons right next to giant text
some gtk apps are the same, but not as many
of course pure X11 apps (ie, xv, xcalc, etc...) don't scale at all
qtcreator was basically unusable with scaling mercutio: ah i don't actually use any qt apps
i was using 4k monitor and 1440p monitor next to eah other on two pc
and shifting dpi made everything look similar size
the 4k being 28" and 1440p 27" so pretty close in size
