Pop on Frame.work—so far so good
I also had poor performance with fractional scaling and ended up using HiDPI-Fixer to get a fractional scale that worked better for me. I did have to set up a systemd service that runs after the suspend/hibernate targets to retrigger the scaling script as it wouldn't run after waking after putting the computer to sleep by closing the lid (putting it to sleep through software or the power button first did work). Nothing else seemed to work for me as I think it may have something to do with how closing the lid disconnects the display before the system is suspended but I honestly don't know.
- How's Matebook 13 with 100% scaling?

Elementary os 6 change the scaling to a custom one
As far as I'm aware, this method is also how macOS does it as well. Theres a nice UI for setting it up the correct xrandr settings here: https://github.com/alex-spataru/HiDPI-Fixer

Is there a fix for Qt application theming on Ubuntu/Gnome + Wayland?
I've tried QGnomePlatform, which was a bit of a pain to compile on Ubuntu, and more importantly, didn't resolve the issue. It's also unfortunately no longer maintained, so even if it worked, it would be nothing more than a temporary fix.

LibAdwaita Styled window decorations for Qt based applications [QAdwaitaPlatform]
Pull request. It was "rejected" because the maintainer wants to use LibDecor in a far future (how in far we dont know). Since November 2022, I just used this branch on my PC in the hope of QGnomePlatform port to LibDecor, and I didn't publish this branch anywhere. But I'm tired of waiting and uploaded this to AUR. I know, rewriting whole decoration is better, but i dont want to do it.

PSA: You can fix Qt apps not using the dark icon theme under GNOME by installing qgnomeplatform >= 0.9.1
Check out qgnomeplatform issue #106 @GitHub for more information.

Scribus does not see my other ui themes (Qtile)
EndeavourOS has a Gnome based theme that is not compatible with Scribus, because it is build with Qt themes. Looks like there is a library that supports Gnome themes in Qt: https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform

What exactly is making Flatpak Qt apps look like this on GNOME? I have both KDE and GNOME installed and this looks fine on KDE with the breeze theme.
It looks like QGnomePlatform is used.

QT Apps have Strange UI
Are qgnomeplatform-{qt5,qt6} installed? If so, you could try removing them. It's possible that QGnomePlatform isn't properly handling one of Qt's numerous scaling options.

Some flatpak applications close when hovering over the window buttons. It only happens with qt applications
I can reproduce here on F37. It's probably a bug in QGnomePlatform. Removing the relevant version of org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QGnomePlatform-decoration fixes it, as does forcing the app to use X11.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? This only Happens on Wayland. This also happens with discord.
i think you need to install this https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatform
