HiDPI has been an issue on Linux for decades. If you’re new to Linux, I’d highly recommend you do not get a HiDPI display. You’re gonna have to apply workarounds to get your apps looking normal and for some apps you might just be stuck with blurry fonts.
If you’re new to Linux and want less problems, avoid HiDPI.
Just look at how big this thread got: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301

Since the last response in the linked thread is quite old I think we have to revisit this in 2026. I hope that the latest update to GNOME 50 solved this. On my 34" 3440x1440 Display 1x scaling is just fine. But I guess this could be different on 2880 x 1920 on a 13.5" Screen.

Is this still an issue with the latest KDE Plasma & Gnome ?
