KDE in high res screen with Wayland? - eviltoast

I’m running KDE Wayland session on a Surface Pro 6 and the UI is much too small.

I changed the UI scale in System Settings which works for all my apps except for the system text (panels, menus, Dolphin). The text in my system UI is super blurry.

I’ve done a bit of research and it looks like Wayland may not support fractional scaling properly, but I’m finding conflicting info on this.

At this time, is it possible to run a Wayland session in KDE with 150-200% UI scaling?

    Haha so embarrassingly enough a full restart fixed it. I was restarting KDE by command line and logging out and in because it seemed sufficient but not in every case.

    The old turn it off and on again.

      Yeah, some things check DPI when they start and then won’t respond to changes or receive new environment variables. A reboot makes sure everything is using the newest settings.
