As always, kudos to Canonical to deliver one of the most mature distribution. But. 2018. And still no fractional scaling. This drives me mad. (changing the text scaling is not a solution). Ok, there was Mir, Wayland is late (again)... how can this problem not be solved in 10 years? (genuine question)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It dosen't happen that way on windows. I had scaling set to 1.25 and got no issues anywhere. The issue with linux is that X wasn't designed for this and Wayland is still unstable/unusable (thanks nvidia)
Wayland is actually pretty stable. Nvidia has problem with OpenGL in Xwayland (i.e. 3d accel for x11 apps), otherwise, it should work. There are warts though, when using Wayland. When using scaling (doesn't have to be fractional, either), X11 apps are being upscaled, not downscaled, resulting in blurriness. Unfortunately, neither Firefox nor Chrome does support Wayland natively, and who wants to use their most used a…
Two quick questions for anyone that has already tested it: - Does it include a dark theme by default, or not yet? :-/ - Can you install flatpak with `apt-get` or do you need to install some apt sources first?
Same for flatpack, I don't see why you expect it to be bundled over snaps (which is included if I recall) or appimages...
Unfortunately, I think Canonical has lost their focus on the desktop user. Every version of Ubuntu since 16.04 has had major issues for me. I have given every one of them a chance to redeem themselves, right up to today trying 18.10. Still no dice... For me, as boring as it sounds, Debian 9 (Stretch) with XFCE is rock solid as a daily driver. I'm not some fuddy duddy doing nothing but text editing either. I code ever…
I havent had issues with Kubuntu honestly, but that's for my needs. The only thing that's gotten awful is the Nvidia driver I'm being offered up breaks my distro. I am never buying Nvidia after all the issues with them, I'm hoping AMD can push forward superrior graphics drivers for Linux, but I have had more issues with Nvidia on any OS I use (including Windows) than I ever had with AMD / ATI (only with Linux, or ove…
Does 18.10 solve the Dropbox sync problem?
No, that is Dropbox's new intentional behavior, they have no plans to resume sync support for linux.

Hello fingerprint scanner!

Does 18.10 solve the Dropbox sync problem?
You mean the fact that Dropbox only supports unencrypted ext4 now? No, that is Dropbox's new intentional behavior, they have no plans to resume sync support for linux.
