My questions:
1. Is there another way to enable fractional scaling? (Gnome and
Wayland)
In my opinion scaling is a bad hack to avoid properly sizing a GUI to
the current screen resolution and dimensions, and produced no end of
rendering side effects when I messed with it in the past.
Have you tried simply setting appropriate font sizes?
Changing the font size is not usually an option until we can specify
font sizes in some more natural unit than pixels (mm, inches, percentage
of the screen, ....). The problem is that you cannot play with all font
sizes each time you change the monitor. The problem is even worse when
you combine monitors of different resolutions. So scaling maybe a hack
but changing font sizes is an another one. I hope that one day we will
have a better device independent way to fix sizes, the pixel is no
longer - in most cases - the right unit for doing that...
But I guess there is a long way before reaching that !!!
A huge amount of software (starting with graphical toolboxes gtk or Qt)
deeply rely on pixel counts.
Remember Display Postscript (DPE), they were ahead of their time on all
these aspects...
