#KDE Plasma scaling issues on xorg, that are fixed on wayland, but wayland = system too unusable

Gonna take two screenshots to show this.

#

First is Jetbrains Rider on Wayland

#

This is Rider running under Xorg

#

Spot the difference

#

Notice how, in the Xorg screnshot, the window icon is almost the same size as the other icon in the top left

#

Also notice how the window title text is larger

#

Same with close, min and max buttons

#

I chose Rider because Rider doesn't respect DPI scale settings

#

And that's the trick here

#

both my xorg and wayland sessions are set up the same way as far as display configuration is concerned

#

Same monitor layout, same resolution, same global scale setting (100%)

#

there should be no DPI scaling

#

but KDI is clearly applying some

#

Question is why, and how do I fix it without using Wayland
