What desktop environment is suitable for a laptop with a high screen resolution?

Good afternoon, I got a laptop for lenovo yoga slim 7 pro, which desktop environment is best for it?

Display: 14 inches, 2.2K (2240 ​​x 1400) ips
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX
Video card built-in something from the radeon vega 8 series (I could be wrong)

When I first turned it on, I whipped up manjaro kde, the problem is that due to the large expansion on a small monitor, everything is terribly small. I usually use the xorg session, I changed the scale settings in it, but as I understand it, kde normally scales only 100% and 200% under xorg, if you set the scale to 150, for example, then not all programs pick it up and part of the interface remains the same small, 200% everything too big. I tried to boot into wayland, everything is fine with scaling, you can set 150, 165 and the programs are displayed normally, but the problem is that the interface itself lags under it, pop-up windows stretch or disappear, fonts stretch during animations, there is some interface delay .

Perhaps there is some other environment that is more suitable for such a screen? The distribution is not important to me, I always worked only with kde or xfce environments on an old laptop. I would be grateful if you tell me something or in which direction it is better to dig.

And who told you that DE will somehow affect the work of specific programs?
Actually, apart from marginalism, DEs simply use one of two graphic libraries - Qt or GTK.
Accordingly, in the IDE itself, if not some masochists (from Canonical, for example) saw it, there are screen DPI settings that apply to the library itself and are perceived by all programs that use it. No one bothers to add the Ked configuration utility to Xfce, based on Gnome, and specify the necessary DPIs in it so that Qt programs take them into account too.
If the program is written in such a way that it does not know anything about HiDPI and does not want to know, no one will force it and specially smear its pixels on the screen, as far as I know, there are also no hunters.

Whichever is more to your liking, then it will do.
The taste and color, as they say...
