  • Even “real” fractional scaling in Plasma with Qt 6 is not much better. Text will look slightly sharper, but icons are still blurry. There is no way for them to look sharp with 1.25 scaling since they are drawn with a pixel grid in mind. Unless you invent some way to stretch svgs so that their individual elements and spaces between them retain their integer-ness while the scale of the whole image is fractional.

    The only other solution is monitors with 300+ PPI where blurriness is simply not noticeable (that’s the way Apple went).


  • I tried cosmic in VM and they have a long way to go. Whatever they release in 2024 will be just barely usable, nothing more. Think of stability of KDE 4.0 with 1% of its features. I’m not saying that they are doing a bad job, quite the opposite. But what they have right now is only nearing the bare minimum, and the road ahead is long.
