Are you doing different scaling per monitor in X11? Different resolutions is fine. I ran many different monitor sizes and resolutions with X11 and i3wm. Just configured everything with xrandr and just had a few scripts that I ran depending where/if I was docked. But per monitor scaling seemed impossible. I just gave up and ran some monitors at a lower resolution so that the DPI was similar.

Yes, that is exactly the problem that KDE+Wayland solves for me. The 8K 32" is way higher ppi than a normal 4K (mine are 27") so you really need per-monitor scaling factor. I used to run everything at 200%, and then the 8K looked great, but the 4Ks were all huge and clownish, like scaled up 17" screens. It worked, but it wasn't good.

> Are you doing different scaling per monitor in X11? I do this, but only some applications cooperate. I couldn't even figure out how to configure it right on kde even though the underlying capability is there. It definitely isn't impossible, but the popular toolkits make it much harder than they should.
