My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

KDE and Qt have much better fractional scaling right now. GTK won’t implement it until a much farther release

Man, I just installed debian 12 with wayland (Gnome or KDE can’t remember) to play around and get instant headache from blurry fonts with my 1440p display with no scaling (Firefox and settings window are blurry af). No clue how to fix it, tried out few of the things I found online and none of them works.

Next plan is to try another distro and hope for the best.

Probably GNOME. The new font rendering is dog shit although it’s supposedly getting better.

Could be, I’ll try out something else (KDE probably) next time!

Just a shot in the dark, but have you logged out and back in at any point?
Some settings can’t be applied in a running session.

Yeah and rebooted but it didn’t help. The settings window did state that some settings require reboot / relogging.

If I keep having the issue after reinstall I’ll make a new thread about it and maybe get some new ideas.
