How the fuck are you supposed to use linux with a HiDPI screen? All of the scaling options are complete dogshit.

umm sweetie you ok? linux is a server os so you only use terminal and the scaling is just fine since it uses bitmap fonts
Luis Hughes
Aaron Brown

Bullshit, stop falling for memes. Resolutions above 1024p are memes.
Hunter Roberts
1080p ain't no meme, palifam.

Honestly, I think the best option is xrandr
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 0.75x0.75
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 1.25x1.25
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 1x1
Replace FOO with the name of the output that you want to scale
Now, I know this is blurry but if you use xrandr compiled from git you can theoretically do something like
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 0.75x0.75 --filter nearest
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 1.25x1.25 --filter nearest
$ xrandr --output FOO --auto --scale 1x1 --filter nearest
to disable bicubic filtering and have crisp text
Yes, it's a mess right now

Buy a reasonably sized(21"-27") monitor and set the scaling to 2x in Gnome. If you fell for the stupidly huge monitor for "workspace" meme you're out of luck sorry.

GNOME doesn't have this problem
