From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[Question] Display Management on tiling wm (lemmy.ml)

BSPWM, laptop has 1920x1080 resolution, external screen has 1680x1050. xrandr --output DP-1 1680x1050 cuts image, if I change resolution to 1920x1080, I get "full" image, but quality is just bad. I have another machine with XFCE, it's display utility does the trick and I wonder can I achieve smth similar on BSPWM with some simple console command?

determine is the XFCE system is using sddm, lightdm, gdm3, there are other login managers as well, but those 3 are the most common.

you can then setup the same login manager kn the other system.

unless they are the same and it's just a scaling issue due to the monitor resolution.

then I guess you could try the alternative login managers, and see if any look better.

lightdm on both machines, any tips (besides installing xfce settings) how to achieve this scaling?:) strange, but I will try sddm
