oh shit WINE 10 fixed the big problems with high-DPI, it did not work anywhere near this well when we were trying this out in WINE 9, a year and a half ago
look at how it handles 144dpi (default is 96dpi):
- winecfg and explorer are dpi-aware
- mspaint gets upscaled
perfect!
and I just tested and it seems to behave just the same when run fullscreen in a wayland session!! yesss
I can't believe it, WINE has better high-DPI support now than the fucking GNOME Wayback desktop I'm typing this in. when we started playing around with the loss32 concept in early 2024 it was on a high-DPI laptop (2017 12-inch MacBook) and it was far from pleasant…
this and a few other recent discoveries make me rather excited about where our silly little Linux distro/desktop environment project will go
the result will invariably have a million things wrong with it and only be something for weirdos
but for the lucky 0.1% it might be comfy
@hikari This project is unhinged, yet it's weirdly possible this will be a fully reasonable desktop for some normal people. I love it.
