I have a NVIDIA graphics card (GTX 1080), and a 4K monitor which I'd like to use with 150% fractional scaling. My experience is:
- GNOME worked, but the fractional scaling made the fonts blurry. 100% or 200% looks sharp, but 150% is bad.
- KDE, and various tiling wm compositors I tried, looked ok but had issues with flickering. I'd type something, and the cursor would often "move backwards" and look like I've deleted a bunch of characters, and then jump back forward.
- Hyprland was the only one where Emacs worked perfectly. But then I got flickering in games.
So I'm just sticking to X, probably until I get another PC.
BTW, WSL uses Wayland as well, and I couldn't run Emacs on that either. Input lag when I maximize the window, as in this, but the workarounds there didn't solve it. I ended running it in XWayland in WSL and that worked fine.
