From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah also no idea why XWayland is a problem, in general their fractional scaling is hidden, and when enabling it everything is blurry.

KDE works really well, for a long time, for Wayland and XWayland.

Meanwhile Windows 11... idk.

Windows 11 just has a fuckin grand mal seizure whenever you move a window from a scaled monitor to a non-scaled monitor.
