From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

200% definitely works, it isn't fractional.
Make sure it isn't image scaling X11 apps. That can cause blurriness if something isn't running in native Wayland. There's a setting in the display config about legacy apps.
The only things that are blurry are icons and text in KDE panels. Does that mean that KDE panels are not compatible with Wayland?
No, my KDE panels work fine, so that's not the issue.
Tried restarting?
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.
