    As someone using Wayland on a HiDPI screen it’s not a great experience with legacy apps. You can’t completely rely on application-controlled scaling since not all apps support it and if you switch to system-wide scaling everything looks like crap.

      Which apps? I’ve discovered recently Electron apps can enable Wayland support with a command line argument.

        Just last time it was free:ac; I had to change to system scaling because it would be unreadable otherwise, and that in turn fucked up Steam that I had managed to configure properly before.

      But isn’t that still on par with xorg where you can’t have any fractional scaling?

          Integer scaling works perfectly, even with legacy apps. Fractional scaling works great with native apps.

      *every application using xWayland looks like crap.

      Native Wayland apps work great with fractional scaling.
