Manjaro Kde screen resolution

Several people have soft bricked their Pinebook Pros by doing so. (Soft bricked meaning after some effort, they got them fixed without replacing any hardware, except perhaps using a MicroSD card.)

So, what can you do instead?
  • Increase the font size
  • Use a font with more pronounce features
  • Increase the various window manager sizes, (like increase the height of the tool bar)
  • Change the color scheme to be easier on the eyes, (even though it may not be bigger, proper contrast can help usabilility)
  • Change the window manager's decorations.
  • Use a workspace manager, (so one application per workspace)
  • And, when at home or office, use an external monitor
Anyone else have suggestions?
Your suggestion to increase the font size is actually good. I was able to do so and also increase the size of some of the icons as well. Things are easier to see now. Thanks a lot!
