Scaling has always been set to 1x (100%) and I have never changed it or played with it until today!

Thanks a lot for the info! I just went and installed segoe Ui font, and it looked even worse than Ubuntu Regular and I tried all the hinting options and made sure to restart after each change!!!
I have always wanted to try opensuse so we will see
I tried to upload a screenshot when creating this post, but it seems there is an issue with the instance I'm on, so I just tried uploading it to Imgur instead so here you go, and oh scaling is set to 1x (there is only 1x which is the default and 2x which I tried today, but it made all the UI elements and text too big and yep I'm not using the same fonts for comparison and I don't think it is as simple to install and use the font used by win 10 and/or 11, and honestly I do not know if using Microsoft font going to fix this issue or not
screenshot these all are the default settings except maybe for Hinting
There is no integrated GPU so no
0024:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.
I just tried a live Lubunto install, and it too looks blurry running the OS GPU drivers
I'm running linux mint xfce which after checking it seems that it uses xfwm 4.18.0 and everything is blury, there isn't a single thing that isn't blury well except for the windows 10 vm lol
Maybe because of the old Nvidia gpu, hmm will try the OS drivers hope it helps,
Update: didn't help but it did fix an issue with the flatpak version of telegram (openGL) and wine is no longer complaining about something that's broken with the proprietary driver + the boot and shutdown animation now actually runs (which is Linux mint logo)
Very old Toshiba laptop with a very old Nvidia gpu GT 525M running proprietary drivers connected to a 1080p monitor and yes it is running at 1080p
Thanks! But I think I will stick with the open source drivers as LibreOffice now runs much faster! Opening and scrolling through the fonts list used to get the GPU utilization to go all the way to 80 to 100% and it was so slow it took the system to register my keyboard Inputs a few seconds but now the issue disappeared!
