I had trouble with it, but when Ubuntu Wayland support appeared it pretty much solved the problem. Curious as to whether the parent post tried before or after that switch over. Prior to Ubuntu+Wayland it really was unusably bad with mixed screen resolutions for me.

Ah, I find mixed DPI/resolutions is a disaster on Windows too - apps break when moved between monitors quite a lot.

The trick for me was going all in - 4K monitors at 150% only on both Windows and Linux - on Mac I have a 4K portrait and a 5K landscape, and that works fine there.

I've been using 150% on both X11 (since late 2021/early 2022) and Wayland on AMD hardware and it's been pretty much fine.
