Is this perhaps an issue of fractional scaling? I’ve run Openbox/Blackbox on Linux for ~15 years and never had these issues. Not 100% sure I understand the issue at least.

Things look mostly fine (to me) and even if they don’t, the apps still work as they should (no blur). AFAIK Openbox/X11 just uses the DPI the monitor reports and things scale as they should.

Sounds like an issue with Gnome/KDE to me, not with Linux?

I may be wrong, I’m not seeking a super polished look or want to tweak my UIs a lot.
