vmware workstation player does not zoom on hdpi

I get the free/proprietary concern that some package managers have but the fact that there are at least 3 ways to install a thing is wildly baffling.Ĭertain peripherals require more attention. Now I'm seeing things like Flatpak, snap, AppImages, etc. I was under the impression that you can use things like dnf, apt, or whatever the distro provides and install everything that way. Wayland does it best but legacy apps look like crap, and getting it right on X11 took me such a long time, and it felt like a hacky solution at best (xrandr scale + GNOME scaling)Īpp installation is more confusing than I thought. I need fractional scaling and different scaling on two monitors. I tried all sorts of fixes online but nothing worked so far. I installed the driver and it's mostly fine but brightness of builtin monitor doesn't work. And the amount of frustrating things I have to deal with is so overwhelming that I am having a hard time convincing myself to stick with it.

Last weekend I decided to give it another go and installed Fedora on my computer alongside Windows for dual boot. I've tried to do this multiple times and always end up giving up midway.
