I moved away from desktop Linux a few years back after getting a new development laptop with a hiDPI screen and running into fractional scaling issues. Windows wsl2 was just getting real good at the time, so I moved over on my desktop and laptop.

Nice to hear fractional scaling situation is better now. Tempted to try it out but.. Man Windows(Pro) is just such a nice desktop and host now, and I can still develop in "linux"..



> Man Windows(Pro) is just such a nice desktop and host now

Windows is terrible relative to a recent version of GNOME on Wayland, slow, bloated, full of spyware and AI.


Just gonna jump in with the alternate view, if you like Windows desktop but not Windows, KDE is just amazing now. I didn’t enjoy it much in be KDE3 and 4 days but I’m loving Plasma 6.


Plasma 6 has worked flawlessly for me, even on NVIDIA graphics out of the box (Arch, btw).


KDE just feels like windows, and just as disjointed.

(To any devs that may read this: I acknowledge a LOT of development progress and features you all have added, it's just not my cup of tea!)


Same. It's sad but W11+WSL2 is just a straight up better experience than Linux native on my laptop.
