    Great article. I’m currently still on X because Plasma 5 doesn’t handle fractional scaling well. As soon as that changes (Plasma 6?) I’ll be jumping over to Wayland.

      X handles fractional scaling terrible as well lol. Has caused terrible tearing and framedrops for me on a Framework 13.

      And this is what I am talking. Fragmentation. Fractional scaling extension exists in wayland protocol for a year of more.

      For me it’s Barrier/Input Leap which keeps me stuck on X. Still waiting for a solution there then I’m moving over.

        Note that there’s now a solution for this in Wayland compositors that support the InputCapture portal. This should work on the latest (or next? not sure) version of Input Leap and GNOME 45 (which launches as part of Fedora 39)
