So your issues are basically exclusively with X, X clients and most of all, proprietary X clients that are using major-revs-old versions of Electron. Yeah, that sounds like a real drag, glad I use Wayland and only have Ledger Live that I'm forced to use twice a year.

> But the fact that years in they still haven't found a proper solution on passing down hidpi for xwayland? That's incomprehensible for me.

It's crazy how this is incomprehensible despite it being explained quite clearly every time it comes up. There might be patches, but they are incomplete and they are kludgy and the experts that could push it through ARE WORKING ON IMPROVING WAYLAND. If it remains incomprehensible, go read through the fractional scaling protocol merge and see how much discussion there was for designing that protocol, not even considering the X interop scenario you want.

You can: (1) try really hard to convince volunteers to spend huge amounts of time supporting something they deemed dead years ago, or (2) try to get shitty proprietary companies to, you know, fund a single developer part time to do basic maintenance, (3) use less crappy tools and/or demand that you aren't forced to use shitty tools.

Why is it ALWAYS that people reach for (1)? I swear to god I hope it's folks that don't do OSS development themselves. The entitlement and ignorance makes me head spin. But hey, random OSS devs are much easier to rage at than your CTO, or some random "chat startup" that doesn't give a fuck. So rock on with your ire against OSS devs not working on your explicitly deprecated scenario.
