Hello,
So I have recently switched to Wayland from X11 on Void Linux with KDE5. All went fine, programs seem to work fine but the scaling hurts my eyes pretty bad.
The text and buttons are too small for me to read without scaling somewhere from 125-150%, but when scaling, most buttons are blurry and the rest are jagged/experience text clipping.
Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any input? I don’t remember scaling making things blurry under X11 but maybe I am remembering wrong, I will have to dive back into it when I have more time and check it.
Thanks for any input. (=
Make sure that the apps you’re using are running natively on Wayland and not on XWayland. You can use an application like xeyes to confirm this. But if you still feel that scaling makes things relatively blurry or laggy, you’re not alone. Wayland doesn’t really have fractional scaling, at least not yet. The fractional-scale-v1 protocol has been merged in most Wayland compositors but hasn’t been released in a stable tag yet. KDE6 should bring that improvement.
