My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

You should just add FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0" as an environment variable, and use wayland

The environment variable enables stem darkening(a font rendering technique), and wayland is noticeably better at scaling

Its a dumpsterfire. Wayland bugs out every time I (and others) unlock the screen and displays no fonts or giant fonts or whatever. After asking on linux.org and other places, the answer was "do not use wayland on debian stable + kde yet, its not ready".

„Debian stable” -- Unstable don't use it

Something like that, yes. Especially on nvidia I think.
