| > This seems to be another example where X is showing its age This is 95% of the problem, and frankly it's not even an insurmountable one; Touchegg was a solution that would buffer both touchpad gestures and the animations, giving you "smooth" but not 1:1 gestures on x11. It was... okay, but clearly a different model was required to make it work. > High DPI didsplay were a problem for Linux for the longest time where it quickly became just a scaling setting in OSX. OSX seems to benefit for complete vertical integration in a big way here. I completely don't understand what you're talking about here. Linux can also do display scaling like MacOS, it's just horribly ugly and blurry on most systems. The current goal is switching to a more Windows-like model where the actual UI libraries can be scaled instead of pointlessly doubling pixels like they do on Mac: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/421858/how-does-di... > It's kind of weird that a decade+ later Windows and Linux are still playing catch up Really? Having used all three operating systems, I don't know what you're pointing to here. Linux is far-and-away my preferred Unix-like operating system now that it has gesture support, and even Windows is frankly not that bad in comparison to MacOS. Both OSes second-guess your authority and relentlessly push you ads, honestly I have no preference between MacOS and Windows anymore. |
