windows is a goddamn piece of garbage operating system but it doesn't make me edit a conf file during a software upgrade to keep the UI working. this is why nobody will ever use a linux desktop.

Make you? It's literally the appeal of arch.

gnome 3 has working hidpi support because they took the same lazy "eh gently caress it" approach that apple did: redefine a pixel as being 2x2 pixels unless your application opts in to "real" pixels

whereas KDE by the looks of things are actually doing poo poo properly which not surprisingly takes a little longer. having said that it also assumes that every kde developer is going to test their poo poo on hidpi displays to make sure it works properly and uh lol glwt

it doesnt matter how many pixels there are its going to look like poo poo because it's kde

lol no, everything underpinning OSX is rotten garbage

it works; despite and not because of its poo poo underpinnings.

osx works because hardware powerupz have drastically outpaced hardware requirements for even a poweruser.

osx was a pile of poo poo when things were the other way around. now it has plenty of room to be bad.

i enjoy a good mix of GUI and Shell programs and the only way i could ever imagine developing on linux is if i switched to emacs/vim and went shell only.
