@xonaecom are you using the process with Elementary OS Freya or Ubuntu? Freya should have full (or near-full) HiDPi compatibility. Keeping the dual-boot in place has no negative consequences (aside from a minor reduction in space) and you can hide the boot picker (rEFInd) without removing your Elementary OS installation using the following steps:
If you do this, you'll be able to use the same process you used in the instructions for installing rEFInd later on - but rEFInd will no longer show up. If you really want to get back the space from Elementary OS and hide rEFInd:
You're done*!

Let me know how this works for you :) |
Like I said it, the problem isn't Freya or its apps, its the 3rd party apps like Spotify or Chrome for example. I will give it another shoot, but thanks for the quick response. :D |
Spotify's HiDPi support is unknown (on Linux) but Chrome/Chromium are currently working on it and have fixes in the works 😄 For now I'm using firefox - you can go to about:config and search for devpixelsperpx and then change the value to 2 for HiDPi display |
What we really need is OS X-like scaling for non-retina apps - when a Mac runs a non-retina supported app it just renders it at normal-DPI and then scales everything up to normal size |
Nice, I'll do that in Firefox. And yes I agree with you in the OS X-like scaling for non-retina apps. Some developers doesn't like it, but is the best way to run non hi dpi apps. Sure it gets a little blurred or pixelated but it's usable and does the job. |
An alternate method is disabling UI scaling and setting the resolution to a lower resolution - you won't benefit from the retina display but you also won't have problems with it |
Hi there :D
I loved the tutorial and it works! Best way to dual boot Mac OS with any Linux distro, but if I want to revert the process and do I do it?
I have problems with HiDPi, so I'll try it again when this is fixed or more supported by 3rd party apps.
Cumps,
