Title: nVidia and HiDPi (QHD+) support
Post by: Lubo Onzi on September 20, 2019, 12:50:52 PM

Hello,

I use Linux Lite for years and I'm pretty satisfied with the performace, quality and lightness of this particular distribution.

Currently, I use LL 3.8 because I had bugs with nVidia support in LL 4+ (The start time of the OS was pretty sluggish. It took some minutes before I can reach the desktop. LL 3.8 does this in like 10s or so. Also, when I updated the nVidia driver and restarted, the OS never started again.). I believe both of the cases were caused by the nVidia driver, but I can't be sure.

I am pretty satisfied with LL 3.8 and its performance, but sadly it lacks HiDPi support. At 3200x1800 it is hardly managable to work with.

So, my questions are:
- Is the bug with nVidia GPUs fixed now?
- Does LL 4+ scale good with QHD+ (3200x1800) displays?

Thanks in advance and I'd appreciate any input.

I also have similar questions.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 x 4k displays on Series 3. LL and it scales just fine. Just set the DPI to you're specific liking and away you go. Easy.
