Fractional scaling is still experimental and CPU consuming in Wayland. I didn't even investigate further as that is a must have feature for me.

- rpodraza 3y agoThe state of fractional scaling on Linux is abysymal.
- SomeRndName11 3y agoOn KDE it is very bearable.Scales very well, almost like Windows, not quite but better than Gnome by a large margin.
- juujian 3y agoI can only offer anecdotal evidence, but here it goes. Used to have plenty of issues with scaling under Wayland, particular with my nvidia gpu. Now I am running an intel-only machine (yes I would prefer AMD) with a scaling factor of 1.5, and it runs very well. It's a very efficient machine, too, using only around 6W at idle, sometimes dipping below 5W.
- medstrom 3y agoWhen talking Wayland, there are no generalities because there is no program called "Wayland" -- can you specify which compositor you used? GNOME, KDE, or a wlroots-based one?
- juujian 3y agoI'm running gnome.
- silon42 3y agoWhat is a good wlroots based compositor (non tiling)?
- rascul 3y agoLabwc is kind of openboxish https://github.com/labwc/labwc https://github.com/labwc/labwc
- silon42 3y agoThanks... the screenshot looks good (and the setting to disable rounded corners is right there).
- medstrom 3y agoAn incomplete list of compositors (they forgot hyprland): https://github.com/solarkraft/awesome-wlroots#compositors https://github.com/solarkraft/awesome-wlroots#compositors Among non-tiling ones are: hopalong, labwc, laikawm, tinybox, waybox, wayfire.
