Unfortunately this is kind of a mismatch between different projects'
expectations.

In the Xorg world, the DPI basically has to remain 96 or else all hell breaks
loose. Gobs and gobs of software was designed with that assumption, and doing
anything else makes it look subtly weird with wrong margins and paddings
everywhere.

In the KDE and Qt world, we do scaling by using a Qt-specific scaling system
which also sets the DPI to something other than 96, but in a way that works in
conjunction with the Qt-specific thing. By setting the DPI alone, without also
doing the Qt-specific thing, the NVIDIA driver is basically ensuring that lots
of software will look mildly wrong all the time.

So the NVIDIA driver needs top stop doing setting the DPI at all, and trust the
host system to do scaling in its own way. By trying to take over this job
itself, it's just making everything worse, not better.

This isn't KDE's fault either for most of the screenshots you provided.
Notepadqq has to handle HiDPI properly. So does the Manjaro Settings Manager.

The fonts are supposed to be scaled up based on the DPI. 72 point = 1 inch. The
UI needs to adjust for that.

It's KDE's fault not resolved upstream.

KDE/Plasma are not handling native DPIs properly.

This is a bug in the NVIDIA driver itself, unfortunately. Please report it to
the NVIDIA folks, either by sending an email to linux-b...@nvidia.com or making
a post at https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-unix-graphics/linux/

It would be helpful to the NVIDIA developers if you could run
nvidia-bug-report.sh and attach the resulting file in your report. Thanks!
