[XWayland] [HiDPI] Applications running on XWayland look blurry on HiDPI screens

XMLWordPrintable

      There's a quality-of-service problem with running via the compatibility layer as under certain circumstances native X windows look blurry. Users with small(ish) HiDPI displays tend to enable fractional scaling and with that enabled (regardless of the actual scale), XWayland pretends that the screen size is smaller and then pixel-stretches the resulting window according to the global scale. This works as a temporary solution, but people get quickly tired of looking at text that is blurry.

          See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/402 and https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5917 for some more details.
