I was hoping there would be a mention of Nvidia, since apparently it will be enabled on Fedora soon even for those of of us stuck on Nvidia cards while we wait for AMD cards to drop down about $1000. I'd get on Fedora now but I just can't tear myself away from the conveniences of Manjaro/Arch yet.

$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
This enabling fractional scaling at the compositor level. However if you are using GTK applications on say Windows, relying on that compositor to handling scaling instead of the toolkit itself can cause some level of blurriness.

But irl, no protocol exists as an abstraction. A reference implementation is always required. If you can't prove it works, you can put quantum processing and whatnot in a protocol. Wayland's RI is Weston, but in most discussions "Wayland" is used to refer to both
PS if statements without braces, are you kidding me?

I don't know, it works pretty well on Windows. Not to mention the proper scale is applied out-of-the-box, no user interaction needed.
Windows also pops applications between scales when transitioning between monitors, an issue that, at least with Wayland on Gnome, doesn't exist.
Qt is toolkit that supports fractional scaling. It's the same toolkit used by Davinci Resolve. On Windows I needed to use the XWayland-like scaling mode with it because I needed the application to span across monitors and it was the only mode that let me do that while keeping everything legible. Dolphin uses Qt as well and I recall seeing issues they had to deal with where borders weren't showing up with fractional scaling.

I don't know everything about gtk, but in Bitwig Studio we have a fractional scaling factor per screen and it simply works. You can install and try it using flatpak com.bitwig.BitwigStudio.
There are actually a few problems holding us from supporting wayland and the fractional scaling is one of them.
