    A must…?

    I had two monitors at 1600x2560 and one at [(various resolutions, usually at)] 800x1280… for near a decade, with no wayland. What’s this “must” and “proper support for fractional scaling” I didnt have and thus was doing it wrong? :3

      Every time I’ve tried ”fractional scaling” on X11 it’s just a blurry mess. Like as if it renders at a lower resolution and then scales it up by 125%. I don’t want all my text and icons to be tiny without having to configure every single application I’m using (with mixed results).

      With Wayland it’s sharp even with 125% scaling.
