From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just want kde on Wayland not to have blury font with fractional scaling. It's just unusable. Once that's fixed, I'm all set to use it as my daily driver.

Fixed. Not backported since it requires a QT update. Fix is coming with Plasma 6. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446674

What does the baby emoji and 27d means? It only shows in voyager

Like the other guy said, it is indicator of new account age. I think there is a setting to turn it off if you dislike it.

It probably means the account is quite new

I have fractional scaling on current plasma wayland and don't have blurry font. Is this a specific usecase?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just your regular 27" 4k monitor. If I set it to 200%, everything is fine, but things are huge. I have to have it on 175%, and that makes the font very blurry. Also, any window decorations that are not default plasma get blurry, too. I've already posted about it in the kde instance and zamunda (a KDE dev) said it was fixed in plasma 6. So, I guess I'll just wait it out.

I think you have to login and logout... For me it worked

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Oh trust me, I do log out then log in, it just doesn't work. I'll try again to double check.
