‪wine has pretty bad high-dpi support but maybe this is fixable…‬

‪also huh this version doesn't like wayland‬

hmmmmm

hmmmmmmmmmm

‪hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm‬

omg <3

holy shit

‪yoooo the modern wine game controllers control panel is better than the one in windows, it shows you both a dinput and an xinput view of your controller, and lets you test rumble. sick‬

‪solving today's problems with yesterday's solutions‬

‪lmao i didn't expect this applet to not immediately crash‬

does she know

‪btw wine 9.0 can run the only app that truly matters‬

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, Wine/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Wine plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Wine system made useful by the Wine translation layer and ReactOS shell utilities and accessories comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.

hidpi wine on a macbook retina display is gorgeous tbh

@hikari > running fake windows on a macbook
well this is cursed almost beyond recognition

@icedquinn i'm running fake windows (reactos)'s apps on the windows compatibility layer (wine) on linux :) on a macbook :)

@icedquinn @hikari so it's just Wine OS?

@coolboymew @hikari they pilfer from one another but they're not the same project

@coolboymew @icedquinn @hikari that's ReactOS

@ElDeadKennedy @icedquinn @coolboymew yes and crucially reactos is not based on linux

@hikari @icedquinn @coolboymew right. very cool project. can it play touhou? haven't tried last time i used it

@hikari @coolboymew @icedquinn i got my answer. maybe i should build an old pentium 4 reactos machine for touhou

@ElDeadKennedy @icedquinn @coolboymew that sounds like a fun project, i'd encourage it! reactos has sadly never reached the maturity needed to run well on modern computers or run modern software, but on a 90's computer with the right hardware and ancient software it might be fun

@hikari wine has extensive usb support for reasons and can run kernel drivers in the usermode ntoskrnl.exe

i tried adding proper winusb support but setupdi is hell

@hikari does anything have good high DPI support? AIUI Apple gets by by faking it, and is hit or miss on non-Apple displays, Linux has multiple different systems that need to be configured separately and not all apps adhere to any of them, and Windows is OK for “modern” apps but a disaster for anything non-modern, which is almost all Windows software.

@h0m54r well, the blurry mess you get post-vista is still better in most cases than the pre-vista (and apparently, wine) behaviour of scaling up the fonts but not scaling some ui elements to match (some apps do get it right but most don't)

@hikari Oh, the latter is my experience of trying to do it in Windows 7

@h0m54r @hikari Windows 10 introduced a new compat scaling mode around version 1809 which scales up (most) text smoothly, and bitmap-scales the rest of UI. Works really well for most legacy applications that don't support high-DPI.

@jernej__s @h0m54r ohh huh! i might have seen screenshots of this before without knowing what it was. that's neat

@hikari @h0m54r If you ever use MMC (Computer Management, Event Viewer, etc.), it's using this mode.

@jernej__s @h0m54r yes, that's the tool i've seen it in! i was surprised by the mix

@hikari *nothing* likes wayland unless it was *built* for wayland

@hikari Wayland doesn't like Wayland
