Can someone try Alpine Linux with XFCE and Compiz please? Show me how the full screen zoom works in 2024/2025 🙏
@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure why Compiz but here…
xfce’s default Alt+Scroll feels more convenient and you get to zoom in as much as you want as needed before things become indistinguishable, here you can see my original cursor overlapping to magnified one (it only showed during screenshot)
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh awesome thank you! The reason for Conpiz is that I remember it having good full screen Zoom for the vision impaired like me.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com So it all just worked?
@prologic@twtxt.net had to get Compiz from the edge/testing repo, but I believe that you can do without it. Xfce’s default Alt+Scroll thing works out of the box.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com is it full screen zoom though like on macOS where the zoomed area follows the mouse cursor?
@prologic@twtxt.net Never seen macOS but I believe that’s a yes, just like in the second screenshot. That’s my whole screen zoomed on the cursor’s position and it keeps following.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice! 👌 I’ll try this in VirtualBox when I get home 🤞
Thank you for spinning this up 🙇♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net My pleasure! glad I could help.
