      I contacted system76 to see if there are other 16:9 ratios native to this display.

      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.

              @scottalanmiller You're beating me to the punch with resources, but saving me a good bit of time. 😄

                You could try a different desktop environment, I've not played with much scaling. Not sure how KDE does.

                  @scottalanmiller That's what I'm considering. There are many options, and I have to remember that this is day 2 of being a non-server-CLI-only Linux user. 🙂

                        Plasma is pretty nice. I prefer Cinnamon, but both are very good. Gecko Linux does an exceptionally good job with the Plasma desktop.

                          I use XFCE sometimes, too. And Korora really makes a good XFCE experience. It doesn't feel like XFCE anywhere else.

                              @scottalanmiller Plasma seems to be handling scaling well.

                                Plasma is built on top of Qt which is more advanced compared to GTK. Gives it an edge.

                                  Looks like people have had success with both Fedora and Mint on there.

                                    @EddieJennings Well, I guess I'll have to come home then! 🙂 @scottalanmiller was showing it to me when I was over at his place. It looked really clean.

                                        This guy is definitely the new Curtis. He's been like this for a few weeks.

                                          Hours and hours of him arguing about RAID 6 being safer than RAID 60. Then it turns out he doesn't even know what RAID 0 is.

                                            @scottalanmiller Even I know what RAID 0 is: Stripe across X drives. If one drive fails, the RAID fails. Guy must be t3h n00b. 😛

                                            Edit: Span to stripe -- no, really, I understand 😉
