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.

Completely agree. I keep trying to open a new session on a clean new user regularly to check if it works and it is absolutely horrible. 3 days ago after updating the system and seeing some new latest kde versions coming in, tried again and noped the out of it in a few minutes. The fonts and scalling in so many places are very bad.

I keep reading about great improvements in the 6 version and am really hopeful for it to be usable.

Or the problem is just that no developers have normal regular laptops that are 14'' at 1080p and can't imagine that proper scaling at 125% and 150% needs to work out of the box.

Edit: I don't even have nvidia hardware, it's just regular intel stuff. Can't imagine the struggle of nvidia folks.

The other half of the developers have 13" 2160p displays that are sharp either way – but don't notice the battery life hit.

Iirc there's ongoing work for proper fractional scaling protocol, so it might get fixed for KDE/QT applications at some point.
