    I just spent literally 3 days of my spare time trying to deal with scaling. I ran Linux on the desktop for 15 years. Had to switch to Mac for a while and then back to Windows for a while. Laptops with 4K screens turned out to be an interesting challenge when I finally came back. I had run gnome For most of my history with Linux.

    After a few days of fighting with scaling and trying to locate working plugins for things I wanted, I swapped over to KDE. My screen scaling and multiple display resolutions workwd perfectly out of the box and everything that I was trying to find plugins for was already there.

    It’s taken me since the early 00"s but I might have become a KDE convert.

      Kde is my daily driver. Has been for 6 years now. I try gnome here and there just to see how it’s progressing. It sucked badly on a 14" laptop with 1440 screen I have. So glad scaling is fixed now

        Yeah when I used to run gnome, It was just super minimalistic and a couple of extra options. Katie was like the cockpit of a fighter jet with switches and options just thrown everywhere. But now it seems like KDE has kind of cleaned up the options. I know Miss still struggling to get basic features not to break in between versions. I would have imagined by now that they would have brought some of the plug-in features in or at least made the APIs not break every time.
