Funy that you mention multi-monitor since it s one of the reasons I eventually moved to Wayland. The only way to support different DPI monitors in X was to do janky scaling or even jankier multiple X servers.

The year of the Linux desktop was a recurring joke (still is with... the Wayland switchover... making system support and OS upgrades a crapshoot).

This is not an issue under Xorg Windows MacOS - only under Wayland. ... proposals , exactly, no APIs, no standard way to make em work in all Wayland compositors.
