Ok #Desktop peeps, here's you're opportunity to teach me a lesson or two X'-D

I usually rock i3wm for my own purposes (and even on my current work laptop, because it's a decade old), but for my new work machine, I'd rather give the appearance of being mainstream, if only not to wig other people out.

Both #Gnome and #KDE seem to have some decently functional tiling addons, and I'm decently comfortable with either one.

...

...

My 17" panel will be 2560x1600, which is a bit highdpi for my needs (178ppi).
2x scaling might be a touch too chonky for me (89dpi), but something in the 1.5x range (119ppi) would be perfect.

Which desktop (not limited to Gnome & KDE) *currently* supports fractional scaling? I know both major ones have fractional scaling coming soon, but I don't recall if one of them already has it. I'll most likely be running EndeavourOS, so it should be decently current.

Thanks!! #askfedi

@RL_Dane Sway supports fractional scaling. I have been using Sway for a long time, I'd love to give a few "pro" tips I've picked up if you want help. But apparently it works well with an existing i3 config.

@golemwire

I've been wanting to check out Sway, but on this box, I kind of want it to "look" vanilla, so that means something vaguely windows 11-ish

Probably KDE and maybe a Windows theme (ugh, bleh) lol
