will fractional scaling be on the roadmap for Budgie?

I'm sure there are quite a few users of Solus Budgie on 4k screens who will appreciate the flexibility that fractional scaling has to offer, but does not wish to change DE to Plasma.

    I don't keep a close eye on Budgie development so I could be way off, but given Budgie uses magpie which is a soft fork of mutter which does not support fractional scaling on X11 only supporting it on Wayland. I don't think it will be coming soon, but I am sure it is something they will have one day.

      Fractional scaling is indeed something we want to have for Budgie 11, but that's a good ways off.

      As to why some applications show tray icons on some ither distros: some distros (especially Ubuntu) patch their packages to use the more updated AppIndicator library. Unfortunately, those usually don't get upstreamed, making it harder for the rest of us to deal with it.

        Lucien_Lachance Strobl he never sugarcoats: "Once this is merged, popovers will stop working under the X11 environment. Quite likely, more stuff will be broke as well. "

        That whole pull request details the uphill challenges that crew (ebon, serebit, etc) are going to run into but they are moving forward putting out one fire at a time. Its amazing over at Buddies.

          Lucien_Lachance the disclaimer for that legendary 2021 post was necessary. that was long ago and an entirely different situation. it's cool he left it up.
