KDE, it has good support for High-DPI and using it with two screens with different PPI ratios, like a 3k laptop display and large external 4k monitor. Gnome still only supports integer scaling (well fractional scaling is in beta but it's still very broken). I heard good things about Xfce as well.

Are most of the applications you use Qt? How do you feel GTK applications have fared on your setup?

I use all kind of applications, default KDE apps for file browsing etc. and many others that are Qt or GTK-based, they all look good to me. Only exception is Gimp, which is somehow broken due to the default "dark" theme (black text on black background...).

Edit, Preferences, interface, theme, system. Works wonders.
