Do Linux distros support hiDPI including mixed DPI (e.g. with a hiDPI laptop screen and a low DPI external one) well ? Under macOS this works really fine, under Windows this is half garbage.

This is solved well in Wayland, with X11 this is not as straight forward. Wayland comes with some other issues though.

Its Saturday and I got some fighting words leftover from the week/s

Using solved and wayland i. the same sentence is just not right !

Source: nvidia+intel laptop owner.

Wayland+Nvidia: Having it work sometimes under some conditions are not the same as solved. X11 is not flawless either but i feel it works more times under more conditions.

Ok rant over, sorry for sounding like a d*k :)

Nvidia is the issue. Maybe another year and they'll keep improving their driver.

Open sourcing part of the driver might definitely help other projects support Nvidia's terrible software better, though I haven't seen much about laptop support for those drivers. If the closed source crap is kept in sync, at least the system will be more stable.
