Cinnamon 2.2 adds HiDPI support so I just kind of defaulted to it as a test DE, I also used Mint as a live rescue OS recently and was super impressed with the polish of Cinnamon. KDE Plasma Active seems like something worth checking out when it's support stabilizes some. In the meantime I'm using i3-wm which doesn't really give a hoot about DPI since it renders text with the X11 DPI settings.\r\n\r\nGTK-3 applications will render with HiDPI support via\r\n\r\n```\r\n$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2\r\n```\r\n\r\nand Firefox supports it as well via the `about:config` setting\r\n```\r\nlayout.css.devPixelsPerPx\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe big stinker is actually Chromium, which requires [a custom compilation flag](https://github.com/nuclearsandwich/chromium-hidpi) just to support it and context menus are all distorted and broken.\r\nI have mine set to about 1.5 because 2.0 made everything just a bit too big."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nuclearsandwich/surface3-archlinux/issues/comments/163447747","html_url":"https://github.com/nuclearsandwich/surface3-archlinux/issues/9#issuecomment-163447747","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nuclearsandwich/surface3-archlinux/issues/9","id":163447747,"user":{"login":"nuclearsandwich","id":358882,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/358882?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich","html_url":"https://github.com/nuclearsandwich","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nuclearsandwich/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":true},"created_at":"2015-12-10T00:35:11Z","updated_at":"2015-12-10T00:35:11Z","body":"It's not perfect, but with the xrandr details above it's Pretty Okay:tm:\r\n"}}
