Cool — one of the major blockers on moving to Linux for me was fractional scaling support. I have 4K monitors but can't use them with tiny text.

I like PopOS a lot, but they didn't have fractional scaling support. It looks like they do now as of Oct 5!

I've been using 4k with linux for years. On large desktop screens I don't find fractional scaling to be necessary. The important text in apps that matter like terminals, text editors and browsers, chat clients, etc, has always supported scaling well. The only thing that lacked support were system dialogs and title bars. 2x was fine for those until fractional support came out in gnome recently.
