@davidre While KDE doesn’t oversee LibreOffice development, since they also have a QT6 backend for their UI, might they also benefit from this? Currently fractional scaled LibreOffice under Wayland with the QT5 backend is extremely laggy, presumably due to the upscale-downscale method.
@Bro666 With the transition from QT5 to 6 and Plasma 5.27’s implementation of wp-fractional-scale-v1, will most KDE apps now be able to fractionally scale without using the upscale-downscale method? (Or in other words, how QT apps fractionally scale under X11)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I wonder if an #immutable distro like @vanillaos could be a great tool for beta testing #plasma . In theory you could easily test out a beta image on your existing system, and then if there is some bug that prevents you from working on your main computer or you simply need something more stable, it would be easy to move back to stable.
Although, #opensuse ’s Snapper is also a great candidate for this way of testing.
