Linux on the desktop has been progressing for many many years... and a lot of stuff still doesn't work out of the box
I've recently had some fun at the intersection of "moving windows between screens" vs "ui scaling" vs "ambient system is wayland but the snap uses x11 internally".
Multiple displays with different scales has worked fine since at least 2017 (which is when I stated using sway, and precisely for this reason).
OTOH, I know that recent versions of GNOME struggle with this. Just last year I saw plenty of situations where moving windows across displays triggered all kind of quirks. This is a GNOME-specific issue, and like most of its issues, doesn't affect all other compositors.
