HOWEVER, and I hope this is a transient situation, there is a problem: in GNOME, applications that aren’t native Wayland apps don’t scale nicely. It’s like the app gets rendered to a texture at the original resolution, which then gets scaled up in a blurry way. Unfortunately that's how it works on all Linux distros since "this will be the year of Wayland". Last time I tried it was 2020, and I gave up when it turned out there were no alternatives to the off-screen rendering and scaling hack for Chrome, IntelliJ and VSCode. Sorry but my eyesight is already bad as it is.

It simply does not matter, because all DEs are on Wayland now, everything supports it, and honestly, I haven't seen an application not supporting Wayland for quite some time. Even Chrome is Wayland-native now.

  You don't run Discord, I take it... Meanwhile, it's apparently going to change soon, but Steam games generally use Xwayland.

    discord is electron and runs perfectly under wayland. a few flags to turn it on and you're good.

This is largely a GNOME issue. KDE and Hyprland supports not scaling XWayland and a lot of X11 apps can scale themselves. VSCode and Chromium scales perfectly in Wayland now and IntelliJ can scale in X11.
