oh!!! my KDE updated!! i'm on Plasma 6!!
this is very different! siffrint, you could say!
i have a few things i need to readjust but overall so far it feels smooth? and.... like my screen is physically bigger? they probably changed DPI handling in some way and now everything is just rendering a bit smaller. i may tweak that back, but this does feel better, so maybe a compromise between new and old settings for screen scale.
