alt Hacker NewsAny improvements with fractional scaling? Can anyone please link to any material reg the work being done for improving fractional scaling in Linux; it would be great if it could match the rendering quality of macOS.

What's your setup like? I'm on AMD+Wayland+KDE, no complaints with fractional scaling on my ASUS ProArt PX13 (255 PPI screen).

KDE has absolutely no issues with it.
Gnome >= 47 is fine, you will need to do:
`gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer', 'xwayland-native-scaling']" ` That stops being necessary as some point around 49/50 I think.
Fractional scaling is now supported by major toolkits and compositors.

Also, I wouldn't hold the rendering quality of macOS as a high standard at all, since all it does is render at a multiple and then downsample, wasting energy and introducing blurriness.
