I wonder if this would help with HiDPI monitors and Xwayland apps looking blurry

I don’t think so. This lets you run entire desktop on Xwayland, can’t see how would that help. Problems with no mixed DPI on Xwayland is due to no mixed DPI on X in general. Currently some compositors work around the issue by letting apps use the native resolution and scale how they want, but by adding mixed DPIs will cause all sorts of issues anyway.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
