Wayland has supported X11 style fractional scaling since 2022: https://wayland.app/protocols/fractional-scale-v1 . Both Qt and GTK support fractional scaling on Wayland.

Rather annoyingly, the compositor support table on this page seems to be showing only the latest version of each compositor (plus or minus a month or two, e.g. it's behind on KWin). I assume support for the protocol predates these versions for the most part? Do you know when the first versions of KDE and Gnome to support the protocol were released? Asking because some folks in this thread have claimed that a large majority of shipped Wayland systems don't support it, and it would be interesting to know if that's not the case (e.g. if Debian stable had support in Qt and GTK applications).
