Re: Fedora 39 Released

#3

Post by tapoxi »

I've been a huge fan of Fedora, and it seems this release does 90% of what I want, but since I'm on a Framework 13 with a weird screen resolution, I once again fall into DPI scaling hell. GNOME locks fractional scaling behind an experimental option, apps like Signal are blurry and apps like Steam just seemingly ignore any attempt to scale properly.

For what it's worth KDE seems to handle at least the blurry X scaling issue and supports fractional scaling by default.

Maybe one day, everything will just work...

Thanks to the team. Had been waiting for it. Release was delayed several times to fix bugs related to RaspberryPi.

In some ways, that is nice to hear. I'm glad the Pi is getting attention.

Is the 5 supported?

Doesn't appear so.

rpi2,rpi3,rpi4 is all that I see. I'm sure they'll work on supporting it in the future. I'm not sure rpi5 was even announced when they branched f39 from rawhide.

I've had the same hope since I started using Linux, back in 2004.

Hold up, is this a reason to not buy a Framework?

My ThinkPad similarly needs to run at 150% scale to be usable and I’ve also found that KDE still has issues even if it handles scaling better. The biggest one is that only C++ window decorations draw correctly under Wayland with fractional scaling enabled — the much more common Aurorae themes are blurry looking which is unfortunate, because only a handful of themes are C++ and mostly minor variants of Breeze.
