I have a Dell monitor set to a scale of 200%:



enter image description here



I then set the laptop built-in display to 100%:



enter image description here



However, if I then switch back to the Dell monitor settings, the scale there has reverted to 100%.



Is there a way to have 200% scale on the Dell monitor and 100% scale on the laptop monitor?



Thanks!

You can have two different scales using Wayland

Wayland was the default in 17.04. X11 is the default in 18.04

To switch to wayland :

1. logout

2. On the login screen click on the little cog

3. and choose "Ubuntu on wayland"

  • What if I don't have a "Ubuntu on wayland" option? How do I install or enable it?

  • I was able to select "Ubuntu on wayland" and configure the scaling. Very few applications like the terminal & Ubuntu Software scale correctly. However, the majority of my applications such as my web browser and IDE do not scale, and remain at the scaling of the main monitor. How do I go about resolving this?

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
