    Is fractional scaling a standard feature in GNOME now? Last time I needed it, it was still an experimental feature I had to enable.

      And electron is shit, so you have to enable that experimental ozone thing, which kills off ibus somehow, meaning I have to decide between blurry chromium/electron apps and being able to write in Japanese.

      Don’t even get me started on VST plugins for music production (definitely far from ready)

        Unlike with fractional scaling, fortunately, it seems to just work™, at least on my machine. I’m honestly not sure what’s left to do with it before putting it in the Settings app by default.

      How many people actually need or use fractional scaling? Don’t most people have displays that are around 1080p?

        I’ve never used fractional scaling but it’s obvious you don’t understand that it’s not about resolution but about screen size+resolution. On small displays with big resulutions like modern laptops a fractional scaling is absolutely essential unless you want to squint your eyes even with 20/20 vision.
