@scottalanmiller The only scaling option that's presented to me in settings is "double." This works, but it's too much
Well the next smaller native resolution is always 4x. So if you think double is bad.

Looks like the issue is GTK.
-
@scottalanmiller You're beating me to the punch with resources, but saving me a good bit of time.
-
You could try a different desktop environment, I've not played with much scaling. Not sure how KDE does.
-
@scottalanmiller That's what I'm considering. There are many options, and I have to remember that this is day 2 of being a non-server-CLI-only Linux user.

It's fun being in the cool kids' club, isn't it

@scottalanmiller No kidding! I just installed KDE's Plasma. It seems to rock so far!

Plasma is pretty nice. I prefer Cinnamon, but both are very good. Gecko Linux does an exceptionally good job with the Plasma desktop.
-
I use XFCE sometimes, too. And Korora really makes a good XFCE experience. It doesn't feel like XFCE anywhere else.

@scottalanmiller Plasma seems to be handling scaling well.

Plasma is built on top of Qt which is more advanced compared to GTK. Gives it an edge.

Looks like people have had success with both Fedora and Mint on there.
-
@EddieJennings Well, I guess I'll have to come home then!
@scottalanmiller was showing it to me when I was over at his place. It looked really clean. -

This guy is definitely the new Curtis. He's been like this for a few weeks.

Hours and hours of him arguing about RAID 6 being safer than RAID 60. Then it turns out he doesn't even know what RAID 0 is.
-
@scottalanmiller Even I know what RAID 0 is: Stripe across X drives. If one drive fails, the RAID fails. Guy must be t3h n00b.
Edit: Span to stripe -- no, really, I understand

Stripe across, not span across. Span wouldn't give you extra speed.
-
@scottalanmiller Yep. Right after hitting submit I saw span instead of stripe. Then I heard the ML ding before I could click edit. <troll fail>
