    I thought we would get fractional scaling? I still only see the 100%, 200%, and 300% options in my display settings. Am I missing something or was this for a future release?

      Its been experimental for a while and can be enabled manually via some properties changes.

      It also looks like crap, they render at a lower res and scale up a bit poorly. I settled on just making my fonts scale fractionally and it looks better IMO.

        I thought Gnome fractional scaling was rendering at a higher res and then downsampling? Did they change this recently?

          Last time I checked they weren’t super sampling. If they are now they’re doing a terrible job scaling.

            Were you running X11 apps? I think there’s issues with low res on X11, but Wayland apps should be running at integer scaling and then scaling down to whatever fractional scale you’ve set it to.

        Oh ok. Yeah, I just scale my fonts too. It’s a shame since I heard from somewhere that they were going to fix that fractional scaling issue in this release, but I guess not.
