The change addresses long-standing issues like blurry text on HiDPI displays, fractional scaling inconsistencies, and input method problems that occur when running through XWayland. The new WLToolkit allows direct communication with the Wayland display protocol. X11 support remains available as a fallback option, with automatic detection reverting to X11 if Wayland connection fails. Developers can manually force X11 mode through VM options if needed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
