Which DE supports HiDPI?



I think most reasonably modern DEs support x2 scaling, some people say x2 is slightly on the large side for this laptop though, and that x1.5 or x1.7 is better which can require more fiddling and I doubt all DEs support.

I only use i3wm, if you just use a simple WM like this I have herd you can get away with scaling xft dpi and setting some things like bar sizes manually, although I haven't had the opportunity to actually try this yet. Personally i'm not too worried about GTK stuff being 2x if custom sizes are not possible, but it depends where you spend your time.
