How does the Linux desktop environment not support HiDPI display?

Since Linux does not support HiDPI devices very well, you need to set up the Linux desktop environment to enable the Linux system to support HiDPI display. Let's take a look at the Linux desktop environment settings that support HiDPI display.

Linux has a wide range of hardware support, but there are also poorly supported situations, such as HiDPI devices. For Macbooks that use the Retina screen, in HiDPI mode, all icons and backgrounds are displayed using high magnification. If we are running Linux under the HiDPI-enabled screen, what adjustments can we make to make the Linux desktop environment look more comfortable?

GNOME

The latest version of the GNOME desktop environment already supports HiDPI display. You can enable support using the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2

After running this command, the zoom factor of the desktop will be increased. If the zoom factor 2 is too large, you can try to set the ratio to 1.5, 1.75. If you want to restore the zoom factor, just replace 2 with 1.

KDE

KDE currently has a good support for HiDPI display. In the KDE desktop environment, we open "System Settings - App Appearance", then:

Font: Check the "Force Font DPI” option and increase the default value of 96 to 125 or higher. Icon: Set a more appropriate icon size in the “Advanced” settings under this panel.

XFCE

In the XFCE desktop environment, open & ldquo; System Settings & rdquo; in & ldquo; Settings Editor & rdquo; (Settings Editor), go to & ldquo; xsettings |  Xft", change the value of DPI to adjust the default value to around 180. In addition, you can also set the system tray icon size to make the overall look more harmonious.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon particularly easy to set up, it will automatically recognize HiDPI display device, if you can not automatically identify, can go to & ldquo; System Settings |  General” Set the zoom factor.

Firefox

In addition, if Firefox open HiDPI display support, open about: config, find layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, set its value to 2.

The above is the technology for setting up the Linux desktop environment that supports HiDPI display. Using these desktop environments can solve the problem of HiDPI display support, making the overall look more beautiful, so give it a try.
