  • Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment

    > System76 with Pop_OS! has an opportunity to tackle topics head on like "we can make fractional scaling work somewhat decently across all apps" (IIUC currently requires shipping a forked XWayland, unfortunately)

    I'm excited to see System76's implementation of fractional scaling in this new desktop environment. Since they have actually sold laptops with 1080p and sometimes 4K displays, they have a real incentive to get this feature working smoothly on Wayland.

    System76 previously developed a HiDPI daemon for X11 to be used with GNOME Shell:

    - Blog post: https://blog.system76.com/post/174414833678/all-about-the-hi...

    - Help page: https://support.system76.com/articles/hidpi-multi-monitor/

    - Source: https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon

    It handles multiple scaling factors, including fractional ones, flawlessly across displays.

    If the next version of COSMIC supports fractional scaling on Wayland as well as this daemon does on X11, this alone would make the entire project will be worth it. GNOME Shell still hides fine-grained fractional scaling behind an experimental flag for both X11 and Wayland, with X11 needing a patch for Mutter.

    Hi u/Borisminator! I'm a razer+Pop!_OS user too. Mine is the early2020. A couple of questions: - Are you having the scratching noise when the fans start up? (https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/jvh90m/razer_blade_2020_scratching_noise_when_fans_start/ - my video in the comments) - I'm having lots of errors from hidpi-daemon when I set hybrid mode ( https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon/issues/34 and https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon/issues/38 )
