I don't use github or linkedin. I don't use skype either... because Microsoft ruined it and everybody left (for business now I use Hangouts and for gaming now I use Discord).

I see it's all video in that investigation, do the videos look like they've been manipulated?
The app tells the toolkit to draw a button at 10,10 with a size of 100,20. The toolkit multiplies everything by 1.5 and then draws the button. The app doesn't need to know that this is happening at all. Of course this is not possible with some applications that do weird things, but for the 99% this works, and the 1% can just be resized by the compositor. That's exactly what Windows does.
Linux on the desktop is death by a thousand cuts. I would argue that it's getting worse and worse, because new technologies are introduced (like scaling, GPU switching like Optimus, touch, good desktop composition, etc) and they are never well implemented. 15 years ago the biggest problem you could have with Linux is having to recompile your kernel to make your sound work or something like that.
