> Fractional scaling has to be done by the application itself (even on Wayland). No, fractional is handled by applications just rendering at 2x and getting downscaled to 1.5x or whatever. Yeah, the "Windows" way looks sharper on fractional, but the "Apple" downscaling is easier to handle and it looks fine – there were iPhones that did everything like that. > DDX drivers can make use of vendor specific 2D acceleration Ah, I remember Intel's various native 2D accelerations (UXA, SNA) – each with its own unique horrific bugs (artifacts all over the screen, all text turning into junk), all eventually sorta deprecated in favor of glamor (OpenGL) with the generic modesetting driver. There's not much to 2D accelerate with modern applications that all do their own rendering. Compositing acceleration is possible in a vendor-agnostic way via KMS planes and we'll have that in wlroots. > Ever used OS X on those? They are barely usable because of severe lag and stuttering. I have an iBook G4 :) Leopard runs perfectly smoothly. Yeah, the very first generation of hardware when OS X was just introduced wasn't ready. The next one was.
