    How is fractional scaling on Mint? On Ubuntu 24.04 it’s really crap (slow, blurry, flickering cursor, weird artifacts etc)

        Okay so how is it with Cinammon, mate xfce? I know it’s crap with Wayland and Xorg especially with nvidia drivers.

          I have had no issues with desktop apps with AMD integrated graphics. Tried 150%, 175%, and 200% scaling. Running Mint with Cinnamon.

          Games will sometimes run at 100%, though. Making their text tiny.

          Wayland KDE plasma scales great! Currently running unstable on NIXOS flawlessly on two different hardware platforms.

            I had some wonkiness on KDE 6 on Wayland a bit ago, but I think it’s resolved now (I ended up disabling scaling at the time). Basically, my problem was that I had two monitors, and dragging an application from one monitor to the other resulted in really weird scaling, though launching it on that same monitor was totally fine (specific application was LibreOffice, but I’m sure there are others).

            I think it’s working better now, but it’s certainly new-ish to Linux, so there could still be hiccups.

            Good to hear! I surely will give it a try, I’ve used nixos as my work distro for a little bit last year but they forced us to switch to Ubuntu.
