I'm using i3 with 4k monitors, just set Xft.dpi: 163 in Xresources and that's it. Depending on your applications, you may need to tweak some individually, for example Spotify can be adjusted via cli argument. There's one con, you can't have mixed HiDPI and non-HiDPI displays.
For sway it's much easier, you can have DPI scaling per monitor, but XWayland apps are blurry, so I'm waiting for all my apps to be updated to Wayland. There's experimental sway/wlroots branch with proper XWayland scaling, but I don't have easy way to install it.
I gave up on Gnome, there are many things that I had to tweak to have productive environment, and I don't like to be part of experiments(Gnome 40) on my machines. I simply moved to i3/sway, best decision ever.
It starts quickly because everything is lazy loaded, if you open project it will start language server, start indexing etc, It's definitely not much faster than IntelliJ, but functionality is still behind.
Not really, drivers for Navi were equally bad on Linux. Second thing is that you need to wait several months before open source driver is stable, first months you have to use latest kernel + mesa-git. On the other hand, you can use Nvidia blob from day one.
You can install "moby-engine" (docker-ce 19.03.8) from Fedora repos instead, I think docker doesn't care about repo for fedora as they lag few months every release.
> 1. Yay! With web I do not care as much about software, I am free to use Linux.
This. Web and electron apps is the greatest thing that happened to "linux desktop". I know that they sucks and are slow, but without it I would not be able to use linux for work.
Well, it is. However it's much easier with resolutions perfect for 2x scaling, so 4k on 15" XPS works great. As for fractional scaling (needed for 4k on 14/13") it's still kinda work in progress, I think it will be ready when chromium on wayland finally lands (I expect at least 1 more year). If you don't use electron/chrome, you can use it right now.
Obviously you can use less elegant solutions like changing fonts but it won't work with multiple displays with different resolutions.
Well, this is how Gnome works, their way or highway. It's funny when they emphasize community importance, but most of the time few people are calling the shots.
