1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Mainly because Windows has more support. Software availability is the biggest draw to Windows. I would quite happily drop it in a heartbeat if Linux came close.

    MacOS has no proper UI scaling for example. Something windows had for... I don't know, ever? It was never an issue for me.

    For MacOS you need a little extra tool you stumble upon after hours of debugging that teels your MacOS what resolutions your display actually supports so MacOS grants you the option of your desired HiDPI resolution.

    It's stuff like this that drives me mad when dealing with the fucking Mac I am forced to use at work.

    These features are for consistent stability. The more space/less space option under display is more than enough for most use cases.

    [–] Hasuris@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    So trash UI scaling is a feature? Try changing your display to a non-HiDPI one. Does this look good to you?

    I've connected my Mac to 4k and 1440p displays and had no issues, in fact it was a pleasant experience.

    "I've had no issues therefore the issue doesn't exist."

    Well no I mean I've tried the exact issue you were complaining about and it looked great
