    I feel like GNOME developers need to drop what they’re doing immediately and focus on making fractional scaling usable. Hi-DPI scaling is everywhere nowadays from TVs to laptop monitors, not supporting it properly is a massive problem for all affected users.

    I’d switch to Linux pretty quickly if they made using my damn laptop a usable experience without dealing with blurry apps or having to use a microscope to read text.

      Yeah also no idea why XWayland is a problem, in general their fractional scaling is hidden, and when enabling it everything is blurry.

      KDE works really well, for a long time, for Wayland and XWayland.

      Meanwhile Windows 11… idk.

      This is exactly what this change is about. Most blurry apps are blurry because they don’t support Wayland (yet/by default) and are running using XWayland.

      The only Wayland native software where I had problems with fractional scaling is Qt WebEngine which doesn’t handle scaling correctly.
