> User space software stack is not aware of it, the frameworks know only of scale 1, 2 and 3 (on iOS). Nothing between it. That's why it is integer scaling.

Well whatever the case might be, whether it's kernel's fault, GNOME's fault, Wayland's fault or device driver fault, fact of matter is that one can easily get 1920x1200 resolution on Retina Macbook 15" with sharp font and images, and cannot on Fedora. This is why perhaps people are making "a fuss".

OS X CAN do fractional scaling as far as user is concerned (doesn't matter who scales it up or down), while Fedora cannot (with Wayland, at least).
