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.

I'm running a 4k monitor at 150% scaling along a 1080p monitor at 100% scaling. Works fine for me.
What is currently still happening though afaik is that the screen buffer is rendered at a higher resolution at 200% scaling and then downscaled to 150%. Hopefully there will be fractional scaling on a protocol level in the future. But it should be barely noticeable unless you have a direct comparison, since downscaling generally retains quality well.
How are you downscaling after upscaling? There is just the option to up the scaling (which makes everything blurry).
Edit: never mind, got it working. It’s not sufficient to restart KDE or log out. A full restart is required.
