Comment on Ask HN: Functioning hidpi setup on Linux, how?

Comments

It simply works for me. My desktop is on Debian sid, running GNOME 41.0 on Wayland with dual monitor setup 3840×2160 and 1920×1200 on AMD graphics, and everything just works. I did deliberately buy AMD graphics because of the support. Laptop is also on sid, with Intel graphics and 4k display and there absolutely no issues there too. I don't see any blurriness in vscode or any other application that I use. But also, I'm not using a lot of graphical apps. Mostly it's just Firefox, vscode, android-studio, tilda, and sublime-merge.

How are you using tilda on Wayland, i.e. without global hotkeys?

Sorry, it's tilix, not tilda.. used tilda for years until I got used to tilix and the splitting. I'm still missing the quake mode that's unavailable under wayland.

The compositor (mutter) provides support for global hotkeys.

Do you re-open a running tilda instance? Or open a new one every time you press the hotkey?
