What exactly is wrong with "scaling" on Linux? I use Qt apps on Plasma and everything just works. Nearly all my displays are HiDPI now. If you use 2x scaling (or other integer scaling), everything is fine. If you need fractional scaling, things break down pretty quickly, at least on GNOME. Once you use fractional scaling (e.g. 1.5), GTK applications will scale correctly, but are slightly slower and consume more mattery. However, all XWayland applications are unusably blurry. Unfortunately, fractional scaling is really needed on 14" 1080p laptops or 4k e.g. 27" screens. With 1x scaling everything is tiny and with 2x scaling gigantic. The only workaround that worked ok for me was using 1x scaling and using font scaling in GNOME. Many controls and icons are tiny that way, but at least text is readable and not blurry. Of course, this only works up to some extend and when both screens need the same amount of scaling (since font scaling cannot be configured per screen).
