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.
Been using KDE + HiDPI + X11 for close to 5 years now, not a blurry font to be found.

your fault for using a DE/distro which can't even handle fractional scaling
No issues with 4k on Fedora stock
768p
Works for me with a framework 12 on LMDE6 with plasma5/Wayland. I probably did some configuring and forgot.
hidpi is poggers but current AMD GPU drivers for newer hardware is NOT poggers

How dare you use standard display tech on any commercial laptop bought within the last 5+ years. You should be like me, vastly superior in every human way, with my old tech. I am very smart.
How dare you use modern technology in current year?
Until I disabled my nVidia GPU and switched to Wayland the only problem I had with my HiDPI screen was with mixing in a low DPI display. That was easily solved by just running the HiDPI display at half the resolution. Now with Wayland even that problem is gone.
Do you even have blurry fonts with Wayland applications? There must be something wrong with your configuration.
This is what gets me every damn time I see some post saying Linux desktop isn't a mess. Absurd shit like this.
Of course Linux desktops are slightly less reliable than the both less flexible and also commercially tested stacks of Apple and Microsoft.
But that doesn't mean that OP is right. They might be one of the luddites that religiously use some ancient tech stack based on X11 or so.
You see. If you have this exact hardware with this exact software it's going to work flawlessly. Pinky promise.

Just like the teacher at school who kept turning all computers' screen resolutions to 640x480 because the text was too small.
This is my boss, except he uses 1024*768...
Fun fact: Instead of implementing scaling settings for RDP, Microsoft just uses lower resolution on its Android RDP client and then upscales that to fit the whole screen.
Which is why the official client is so blurry compared to e.g. aFreeRDP by default.
