Hello everyone:
I am here to ask you a (maybe pointless) question
What DE or WM are you using?Running with X or Wayland? |

I wrote my own from scratch with scratch. It is at once the most environmental and the most managerial possible, a perfect marriage twixt the twain. I call it G'R'E'T'A which stands for Ghastly and Ridiculous Example of Totalitarian Apoplexy.
It's pronounced 'greeting'. Which I imagine is a plural.

Been using lxde since early days of kde4.
What can I say... Nothing special, but it works (unlike kde4 upon release  ). I kinda miss compiz though. Apparently FOSS aged enough to have optimized the fun out of the game. |

| i've been using Wayfire the last couple of months. Prior to that it was Sway, and prior to that it was i3, for several years. It's been quite a while since i last used a DE; i found them increasingly too heavy for my needs. Over time i've worked to decouple as much functionality as possible from my WM, both to make life easier when things go haywire, and to make it easier to swap WMs with a minimum of fuss. So, for example, i don't use a Display Manager, and start devmon and a D-Bus session bus via .zlogin. |

I tried them both some time ago,and now using dwm
My laptop got a weird resolution,3200*2000,I tried to switch it back to KDE plasma couple times,everytime got kicked by scaling problem
Maybe I should buy a 4K monitor to use kde confortably |

We have a saying where I live (I don't know what correct translation is) which is What suits oneself is the best
Perhaps if I have experienced enough, I can also satisfy with non configurated default xfce desktop oneday |

I am using DWM for maybe 6 month now,I also don't use a display manager
But I am attempting to switch to plasma,I do not know when,I have to buy another larger SSD and maybe an extra monitor,and I want to use XFS instead of btrfs with subvolumes
Alot of time will be wasted....
I can't make up my mind haha |

I use Gentoo with the same drivers and USE flags on the laptop (HD 1920x1080) without scaling and in the office (4k 3840x2160) scaling to +125%. Unfortunately there is a difference, the scaling often doesn't look clean, fonts are much clearer on the laptop without scaling. Here's an example in original resolution, although I'm not sure if it comes across correctly. You will notice a clear difference if you switch between the laptop without scaling and the office computer with scaling several times a day: https://iili.io/JxBZQd7.png
I'm hoping for big changes in February with KDE v6 |

I watched a video about scaling days ago,then I hate every resolution but 1080p and 4k
Technically,if you set scaling to 200% on 4K monitor,display will much cleaner,maybe clean as non scaled 1080p
I don't know why modern computer manufacturers like to put some strange resolution screen(2.5K,3.2K....etc) on their products,bunch of garbage to me |

Also,why don't use git to sync portage tree?That'll be much faster than rsync |

Understood,I asked AI after I noticed the coordinate,And I got "Based on the given latitude and longitude information, this location is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 160 kilometers from the coast of Scotland, United Kingdom. Specifically, the position is at 56 degrees North latitude and 3 degrees West longitude. As this is a set of coordinates in the open ocean, there is no specific residential area or place name associated with it."
So I thought that there maybe some treasure hidden in that location lol |

nurali,
"this location is situated in the Atlantic Ocean" That AI is full of fail.
I would have let it off with the North Sea.

Interesting. On the laptop, the font of the screenshot (scaled 4k) also looks good and sharp. It can't be shown on a screenshot, probably only on a cell phone photo of the screen. |
