  • Every time I’ve tried ”fractional scaling” on X11 it’s just a blurry mess. Like as if it renders at a lower resolution and then scales it up by 125%. I don’t want all my text and icons to be tiny without having to configure every single application I’m using (with mixed results).

    With Wayland it’s sharp even with 125% scaling.















  • Many are dependent on software suites that only work decently on Windows or Mac. Switching to Linux means they might have to have up on those applications. And if some alternative software exist, it’s a huge gamble to hope they support your existing workflow.

    People also tend to work with other people. Whatever alternative software you might pick must also support your collaborative workflow as well.

    And let us not kid ourselves, Linux is quite fragile. It’s expected that something will break at some point and you’re forced to find a solution online. Often the solution involves finding a configuration file somewhere, enter a string of characters and pray it works.

    Last time I had to enter some config file was a week ago because of some issues with my keyboard.

    I’m a nerd, so I’m fine with doing it. Overall I prefer the flexibilities Linux offers. But most people aren’t nerds. They don’t want to open a terminal and write strange incantations.
