@matt@linuxrocks.online The HiDPI screen on the XPS is small, and snows up a lot of issues. Gnome's rendering (via gsettings) is actually not bad at all but I noticed Ubuntu (used a livecd to DD the drive for a backup) have put a lot of work in.

Basically between slightly inadequate scaling and a small display they can start to look strange. Terminal is v. nice, though.
