LOL, is that an amusement park?
-
The family is heading back home later this morning. I'm trying to get the house ready.
-
Right now I'm setting up Dominica's office in the dining room. She decided that she needs to move out there to be more productive.

Kinda, we folk in NJ (I know crappy) gotta entretain the kids lol
-
that looks a little bit like the Fort Worth Zoo.
-
Family is getting in the car now. It's about five hours from there to here.

@EddieJennings I might get it loaded it up on one of my machines this weekend. I keep reading good things about it on here, and it seems like quite a few people have made the jump. How's it working for you?

@Texkonc was just asking last night about all of the people using it now.

You can always stop by over here and we can have a Linux loading party.

@scottalanmiller I have an extra laptop sitting here that would be perfect for a Linux loading party. I need to open it back up again and fix the display because I must have knocked the power connector loose when I was replacing the fan awhile back. It was getting late, and I didn't feel like taking it apart again that night. HP really buried the fan on that thing. Haha
-
We should have an ML Community list for what laptops have been tested with which distros and who has gotten things to work.

@scottalanmiller It's good. I'm struggling with 1920 x 1080 on a 14" screen. I'm looking to see how I can change DPI or set the resolution to lower than 1920 x 1080 and still have a 16:9 aspect ratio. I contacted system76 to see if there are other 16:9 ratios native to this display.
-
@RestoronixSean What little I've messed with it, I like it. For lack of a better phrase, it feels more like "home" than using the pre-installed Ubuntu.

Dominica had that issue with her 4K screen, but when she moved to Korora it just fixed that problem. For her, Korora scaled everything to the right sizes.

That would be a factor of the pixels, not something to ask S76. Just divide any display value into 1920x1080 to see if it is native or not.

@scottalanmiller The only scaling option that's presented to me in settings is "double." This works, but it's too much

Well the next smaller native resolution is always 4x. So if you think double is bad.

Looks like the issue is GTK.
