okay shall i try to set up Bitwig on Linux next

@flockofnazguls i need fractional scaling so X-only isnt really an option. having to log out to switch is also a pain so i am trying to set up X to run on another TTY
@ahihi Ahhhhhhh yeah.
-
can i run X in parallel with Wayland. perchance
i have started xfce into an unresponsive black screen

@ahihi you can try `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb <command to run whatever>` to run it under XWayland but idk if that will solve your problems.
You can use xeyes as a fun way to check if it is running under xwayland or not.

@enoent Bitwig already runs in XWayland, this is in fact the source of the problem

ok icewm is really not made for DPI scaling. which X WMs are? aside from i3

fine. i will not drag and drop files

apparently i can not drag audio files into the arranger. what
@ahihi Haha, that tripped me up so hard when I switched to Linux a few weeks ago. At first I thought my audio file was broken or in an unsupported format or something. I haven't found a file manager I like for Linux anyway, so Bitwig's built in one isn't that much more terrible...

@ipaschke i dont love Dolphin, but at least it has usable keyboard navigation. the Bitwig one not so much

@ahihi I still haven't figured out basic things like "sort by type, then by date" with Dolphin. I didn't think I would miss Windows Explorer of all things...

right so basically horizontal scrolling on the touchpad doesnt work, vertical works in steps (not smoothly)

alt + vertical scroll does steppy horizontal scrolling. ctrl + alt + vertical scroll does steppy zoom

Improved two finger touchpad scroll and gestures on Linux

the thing is, i can work with this but what are the chances of this stuff ever getting fixed? do i want to keep spending money on upgrades if basic workflows remain a struggle?
