Aargh. My @pop_os_official saga takes a different turn…

I use a legacy #Java desktop app called #JMRI to control my model railway. It’s clunky and the UI is awful but it’s the only tool that does the job.

Unfortunately it won’t play nice with high density displays and won’t display properly on #popos. So I have to revert to #KDE #Plasma 6 because of its fractional scaling abilities. Bye @pop_os , hello #Fedora.

      @ryannathans I don’t have a bug report. The app doesn’t *break*, it just won’t render properly. It has UI choices such as GTK, Metal, etc, and a base font size selector, and no matter what I choose, half the UI text is too small to read and the other half is not aliased.

      In my view it’s up to JMRI to make their app better, Pop_OS can’t be expected to accommodate every badly built legacy app. But it still means I have to use a KDE desktop due to KDE’s better display handling.
