The option was there, but it wasn’t ready for every day use. The permanence impact was significant. The couple times I tried it, it was practically unusable.
The UI also showed a warning about performance when you enabled it
I just spent literally 3 days of my spare time trying to deal with scaling. I ran Linux on the desktop for 15 years. Had to switch to Mac for a while and then back to Windows for a while. Laptops with 4K screens turned out to be an interesting challenge when I finally came back. I had run gnome For most of my history with Linux.
After a few days of fighting with scaling and trying to locate working plugins for things I wanted, I swapped over to KDE. My screen scaling and multiple display resolutions workwd perfectly out of the box and everything that I was trying to find plugins for was already there.
It’s taken me since the early 00"s but I might have become a KDE convert.
Kde is my daily driver. Has been for 6 years now. I try gnome here and there just to see how it’s progressing. It sucked badly on a 14" laptop with 1440 screen I have. So glad scaling is fixed now
Yeah when I used to run gnome, It was just super minimalistic and a couple of extra options. Katie was like the cockpit of a fighter jet with switches and options just thrown everywhere. But now it seems like KDE has kind of cleaned up the options. I know Miss still struggling to get basic features not to break in between versions. I would have imagined by now that they would have brought some of the plug-in features in or at least made the APIs not break every time.
FRACTIONAL SCALING!!! FINALLY!!!
Huh? Gnome has had fractional scaling for ages.
All it takes is changing a gconf setting.

/shrug
I’ve been using it on my multiple monitor setup for well over a year with no noticeable performance impact.
Not officially. And it has been broken.
It’s been working flawlessly for me for quite some time, but I guess other people’s mileage may vary.
Oh, it was a bitch for me. Lol
