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.

So, does Linux just not support those displays?

No, electron, xwayland, GNOME cause problems.

KDE with fractional scaling on Wayland works well.

Not sure about GNOME today, but they hid it away in the past and forcing 120%/150% made everything blurry

Electron and Xwayland don’t cause problems. GNOME is the only source of problems on Linux.

Meanwhile, macOS has been handling high-dpi displays with zero issues since 2012.

This is just a theory but I assume they just dont scale, they have their UI sized to a set size and thats it.
