Really? As soon as I turned on fractional scaling on Wayland, Chrome & Electron apps became blurry looking to the point of being unusable. Actually, a lot of apps I'm used to using were unusably blurry and horrible looking (like Jetbrains products). Maybe Windows doesn't handle decimal scaling, but at least most everything looks and works fine. You have to look really deep to find stuff that doesn't work (like event log or group policy editor, leftovers from a bygone era Windows, things I don't use day to day, and I'm sure nobody uses them every day). As it is now, as a developer, using a browser and Jetbrains IDE or VS Code, Wayland is completely unusable and makes the whole Linux space feel more like a toy than a professional tool. So I don't know what decimal scaling you're talking about when Wayland can't even do 125% or 150% scaling without half the app ecosystem breaking.

> Maybe Windows doesn't handle decimal scaling, but at least most everything looks and works fine. It doesn't handle even decimal I don't dare try fractional. I guess our standards differ, it's not fine. > You have to look really deep to find stuff that doesn't work (like event log or group policy editor, leftovers from a bygone era Windows, things I don't use day to day, and I'm sure nobody uses them every day) It really doesn't take much to stumble upon things like that when you use Windows on a daily basis. I wouldn't call system menus "leftovers from a bygone era". If you restrict yourself to only the parts of UI that mostly scale well, of course then scaling works well. But that's silly. > As it is now, as a developer, using a browser and Jetbrains IDE or VS Code, Wayland is completely unusable and makes the whole Linux space feel more like a toy than a professional tool. Neither JB IDEs or VS Code are native Wayland applications. Though I can't say I've had issue with JetBrains' software under Wayland's scaling.
