  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    Man, I just installed debian 12 with wayland (Gnome or KDE can't remember) to play around and get instant headache from blurry fonts with my 1440p display with no scaling (Firefox and settings window are blurry af). No clue how to fix it, tried out few of the things I found online and none of them works.

    Next plan is to try another distro and hope for the best.

    Just a shot in the dark, but have you logged out and back in at any point?
    Some settings can't be applied in a running session.

    Yeah and rebooted but it didn't help. The settings window did state that some settings require reboot / relogging.

    If I keep having the issue after reinstall I'll make a new thread about it and maybe get some new ideas.

    Probably GNOME. The new font rendering is dog shit although it's supposedly getting better.

    Could be, I'll try out something else (KDE probably) next time!
