My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.
framework 16 over here, running hyprland, the only blurry fonts have been in Darktable, everything else is fine (telegram, discord, vscode, thunderbird, firefox, waybar, quodlibet, thunar, alacritty, seahorse, synology drive client...)
You should just add FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0" as an environment variable, and use wayland
What does that do?
The environment variable enables stem darkening(a font rendering technique), and wayland is noticeably better at scaling
Everytime I think I know something about linux someone else comes along and starts speaking magic.
If youre not on debian stable and kde.
Why?
Its a dumpsterfire. Wayland bugs out every time I (and others) unlock the screen and displays no fonts or giant fonts or whatever. After asking on linux.org and other places, the answer was "do not use wayland on debian stable + kde yet, its not ready".
„Debian stable” -- Unstable don't use it
Something like that, yes. Especially on nvidia I think.
Guess it's time to create an issue on your display manager's github. And pray to the penguin gods they resolve it.
Works for me with a framework 12 on LMDE6 with plasma5/Wayland. I probably did some configuring and forgot.
I was excited for the Framework 17 but the GPU in the addon module they're offering at launch is rather pathetic, especially for the price. Maybe one day there'll be other options but it's really not compelling as a performance laptop.
LTT talked about this a while back.. it's because the GPU companies don't want modular GPUs.
Use Plasma6 on Wayland
Hint: :q!
