Coming from Linux with X11, I really can’t get used to fractional scaling for the same reasons you mention. Sadly, the Linux world decided to go with Wayland, which explicitly copies this brain damage from MacOS. MacOS implemented it for backwards compatibility reasons, not because it makes any technical sense. Linux + X11 started where MacOS wished it could be, but then they somehow forgot the history. Anyway, I’m hoping one of the *BSD’s gives me another 10 years of being able to set the font size without blurring/fisher pricing everything else.

There is no Wayland on my systems (nearly all Debian) and I have yet to find a reason for wanting to change that. We are legion, X11 will persevere.
