Why is Windows display scaling such dogshit compared to both GNU/Linux and Mac OS?
When will it be fixed?
>>55595061
I agree. Windows is garbage. Don't you get that "stub data" error when you try to start some program?
>>55595061
You can't fix it without breaking compatibility, and Microsoft (almost) never breaks compatibility.

Works on my machine. :^)

actually this is true. MS always tries do keep compatibility.
>inb4 [rare appplication name] no longer works at [new windows version]
Because there's some shitty companies and programmers that exploit undefined behaviors, use undocumented APIs or the existing ones a way that wasn't intended. It's not MS fault, it is developer's fault.

Try GNOME 3 next time, faggot

good for you

Into the trash.
As someone who doesn't understand what you're saying nor has used anything other than Windows, what do you mean?
What is display scaling and why does Windows do it so poorly? What does poor display scaling look like? I have two monitors and everything seems normal on my end.

It really is shit.
Even on W10, I can't smoothly output 1080p @ 100% dpi from my laptop while the laptop display continues to run 1800p @ 200% dpi

He's just memeing. He has no actual argument.
Windows scaling is perfectly fine when developers follow the API guidelines. The problems arise when running ancient DOS and XP programs with no HiDPI support whatsoever.
The reason you don't see the same problem on OSX is because OSX has an even worse fundamental problem in that an older program won't even run on newer OSX versions since Apple is a joke and has absolute shit all for backwards compatibility for anything older than 3 years.

If you don't want GNOME then you won't get good scaling.
Continue using your fucking WM that can't even do compositing in 2016.
because macrosift expects the oems to take care of it?
>>55595061
It's far better than anything I've used on Linux, sorry man.
>>55595061
Fucking newfags/shitposters. For a board dedicated to technology and hardware tinkering you sure as fuck are worthless when it comes to solving even smallest of problems. Just google Windows 10 DPI Fix - Get the smooth scaling of W7.
It really is fucking awful. And somehow Win10 made it WORSE

If only you were a cute /g/ trap ;_;
