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.

It has everything to do with the hardware. This specific piece of hardware is not as compatible as a regular DPI display.
These problems only exist because of this poor hardware choice on Framework’s part.
If they go from the resolution they used to native 4k, they waste a lot of battery life. If they go the other way, you have low res. I think they happened to pick within a golden DPI range. Not too high or low.
On KDE Wayland, I really don’t really see any blurriness issues. I’m not even on KDE 6 yet.
The irony is that my old “low res” laptop looks sharp and crisp while “high res” looks blurry. My old laptop doesn’t require me to give up my distro of choice (Arch btw), doesn’t require me to give up apps I like, and doesn’t require me to spend days applying workarounds that ultimately don’t even completely solve the problem.
why would high dpi rule out arch??
BECAUSE THERE’S NO EXE!!!
…?
I use Arch on a Framework 13 and 125% scaling in KDE. It works fine and I honestly forget that it’s not at 100% scale. The only big issue I’ve seen is when you have multiple monitors with different scaling, some applications can get a bit confused, especially if the edge of the window is touching the edge between two monitors with different scaling.
SIMP’ing to the max here. Sorry not sorry .
Just get Windows if you can’t manage the pitfalls of Linux
