Is there any way I could fix or mitigate the blur on applications using XWayland caused by fractional scaling?

From what I’ve seen, Plasma also offers “Scaled by the system” and “Apply scaling themselves” modes, which looks like a decent “solution” that could (easily?) be used. I’m not sure if GNOME has anything similar to that.

I’m a little hazy on the step-by-step process for how I would do that, but if anyone has the time to walk me through it, I’d be happy to give it a try.

My comment at the end wasn’t directed entirely at the GNOME community. I understand this is a free community support forum and no one owes me their time. I was just expressing frustration with getting support for desktop Linux as a new user in general. It looks like there’s lots of fragmentation, so far fewer people will see your questions. Furthermore, to search for whether your question was already asked or not, you’d have to scour the internet by looking for every possible forum and chat room it could’ve been asked in, and then searching for various terms within each of those forums and chat rooms to see if anyone has answered your question in the past. It’s just unreasonably time-consuming.

I’ve searched on the GNOME Wiki, the Fedora Wiki & Docs, GNOME Discourse, Fedora Discussion, etc. Still, I couldn’t seem to find a clear answer to the question I had. I did see some posts that could be related to it, but after skimming through some of those threads I still couldn’t find an answer. As mentioned in my update, I did see someone who asked about the same problem with the same software I am using, but they never got an answer either. I then asked on several relevant and popular forums (as mentioned earlier) and didn’t get a response. At least until now, I suppose.

If the information for something isn’t available on an easy-to-find FAQ and people cannot find or receive answers when searching/asking on relevant and popular forums, then I don’t see how the blame lies on new users with limited time, energy, and technical knowledge for not being able to solve their problems with software that is (at least by much of the community) commonly praised for being noob-friendly.

If that’s the case, it’s even more surprising that it’s so time-consuming to find the answer to this question. Of course, I’m sure if someone had the time and energy, they could probably have pieced together the information they would’ve needed after searching for various terms on various forums and wikis and then investigating specifically what each article or answer meant if the solution wasn’t immediately clear. But that’s just not practical for most users who aren’t very knowledgeable or just want a functioning computer without having to do a whole lot of work to get it up and running.

Anyway, I appreciate your response. If anyone has the time, it’d be great if someone could walk me through how I might be able to mitigate the blur with XWayland on GNOME if that’s possible. If not, I could try out Plasma or maybe just switch to X11 like other users have, though I’d hate to have to do that.
