I’m having issues w/ fractional scaling in Ubuntu 23.04. I also had these issues running on Ubuntu 22.04
Variants of this question have been asked before, like here: Fractional scaling makes browser blurred
Native apps seem to be mostly good, like gnome terminal, settings screens, etc. Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Slack, Steam are all blurry. Git Cola looks good with the exception of strangely large mouse cursors.
I’ve tried some of the options like enabling Wayland support in Chrome and Brave, and it actually made the browser window absurdly large and make it unusable so I had to revert the setting.
I also played around with some of the font and icon size changes, but it doesn’t really work for me since I’m in a dual-monitor setup with one monitor being 32” 4k, and the other being 15.6” 1080p.
Ideally, I’d have a 150% scale on the 1080p screen, and 200% scale on the 4k screen. I dual boot Windows 11 and these are the settings I have and it works great.
I’d love for an actual fix, but from the sounds of it, it seems like it’s just going to take time for apps to catch up and work well with Wayland.
But what I’m also wondering, is this perhaps graphics card / hardware dependent? Is anyone out there running a similar mixed size/resolution multi-monitor setup where this works well?
This is all on a Beelink SER5 mini PC w/ a Ryzen 5 5600H with AMD Radeon integrated graphics.
I’m looking at building a new PC, so I’d be open to picking up specific hardware if it’s guaranteed to work. Thanks.
