Fractional scaling in Wayland is great news.

Until now if you had linux on a high resolution touch screen computer you had to make do with a subpar experience. It doesn't matter which combination of X11/Wayland and KDE/Gnome you chose.

In X11 : touch support is bad to the point of being unusable but you can scale the UI with fractions.

In wayland : touch support is better but you can only scale per unit (100%, 200%) which makes things either way too small or way too big.
