2.8k display just arrived! Wasn’t sure I’d ever see 120hz on this laptop, but wow… it’s beautiful…
I still need to tune some things to make 200% scaling on linux better, but it finally feels usable instead of just cartoonish.
The rounded corners are also very small. The bottom corner is just a few pixels, the top right corner is invisible since I’m using gnome with the black status bar on top anyways.
I did get the 2.8K screen today . Very beautiful thing and works perfectly under Fedora with 200% scaling.
I’m fairly new to linux but managed to enable the experimental fractional scaling and variable refresh rate settings .
If I recall correctly (and I might not be or this may have changed), if the experimental fractional scaling setting is enabled on GNOME then even when scaling is set to 200% some apps will appear blurry (as it still treats it as fractional scaling even though it’s 200%). I suggest disabling the experimental fractional scaling setting.
This is absolutely true! If 200% works well, you should absolutely disable fractional scaling. They don’t behave the same and some applications (Vivaldi, in my own case) look awful with it enabled.
