Hello,

So I have recently switched to Wayland from X11 on Void Linux with KDE5. All went fine, programs seem to work fine but the scaling hurts my eyes pretty bad.

The text and buttons are too small for me to read without scaling somewhere from 125-150%, but when scaling, most buttons are blurry and the rest are jagged/experience text clipping.

Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any input? I don’t remember scaling making things blurry under X11 but maybe I am remembering wrong, I will have to dive back into it when I have more time and check it.

Thanks for any input. (=

      This was it, thanks mate. I feel a bit silly not trying this before asking online!

    It should not be blurry. What do you have under Settings -> Display and Monitor? You can set a scale there (I have 150% on my 4k monitor), and make sure X11 apps apply scaling themselves. You probably are still running apps in X11 mode and having “scaled by the system” checked.

    Firefox and other apps needs environment variables to be set to use Wayland, otherwise they will still use Xorg.

      Thanks for letting me know about the Wayland env var for Firefox! I would not have known that otherwise!
