I reported upstream. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374455 The answer : qt scaling supplies only integer scaling and worst this will not be fixed. Thus if kde wants fractional scaling has it to implement itself this feature? Another horrible thing: today each app must be compliant with scaling. I don't understand this choice. Why not some sort of display server capturing all display request and scaling the item to display or some sort of filter scaling before displaying ? And what about non kde apps? I expect many years before to get a true scaling feature. It is disappointing. It's a necessary feature. Comparing to Windows for same monitor openSUSE by default chooses a too small scaling for icon and text(everywhere)
