Bug ID: 441043
Summary: Enable DPI based scaling on wayland
Product: kwin
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: t...@r.je
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Display scaling on Wayland is generally a poor experience:
- GTK apps look blurry
- XWayland applications look blurry
- Games (which generally use XWayland) cannot be run at native resolution.
- Fractional scaling generally looks poor
This is a huge downgrade from Xorg where setting a font DPI however high
correctly scales application and looks consistently sharp. Certain UI aspects
e.g. 1px borders do look thinner but this is much more preferable to blurry
windows and unexpected side effects like games not seeing native resolution.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set font DPI to 192 in systemsettings font panel
2. Log out and back in on a wayland session
3. No effect can be observed. Xorg works fine.
