Windows has had some PPI scaling at least since the XP days, and it always has been pain in the ass. Sure, with integer scaling it should work pretty well, but it is the biggest thing holding me back. And especially as I also use Linux on the desktop which is not much better.


windows scaling is totally fine. its not perfect, but it works a better than people give it credit. i have yet to experience a program that's giving me issues.

the only caveat is that it doesn't work properly if a program is on two monitors which have a different scaling factor (i.e. the scaling from one monitor is applied for the whole program)
