Poll on macOS 10.12 is broken

I've been using a HiDPI ThinkPad T550 for almost one and a half year with Linux. One of the greatest annoyances is having displays with varying DPI (internal HiDPI+External StdDPI), I have simply settled on dedicating the internal monitor for the browser where I have zoom set and using other monitors for everything else. Whereas this just work on macOS, resolution independence with various DPI monitors is a great experience with no headaches.

Another thing is if you lug your computer around a lot, I often go from one 3-monitor setup at work to another at home however this always messes up my window placement and I haven't seem to found any DE/WM which handles this cleanly in a convenient way even near the experience on macOS.

This experience have made me realise that even though Linux is workable as a developer OS today it is nowhere near as convenient and seamless as macOS.

Have you tried a tiling WM like i3? If you unplug and replug monitors you're just changing what workspaces are displayed where. The experience is identical if you have one or many monitors.
