> You are incorrect in your belief that a modern Linux graphical stack centered on Wayland ever resamples or interpolates a virtual or actual framebuffer except for compatibility with apps that have not been adapted for Wayland.

This can be true only if you use a really narrow definition of "apps adapted for Wayland". For example, a viewer of png files may not be possible to adapt to wayland? A png file is just an array of pixels (typically without a meaningful dpi). How are you going to ever display it without interpolating and resampling?
