I've been using fractional scaling and only native Wayland apps since May 2021 (on Fedora) though I don't use Slack, VS Code or Zoom.

As you know, "native Wayland" means the app has been modified so that it can talk to the graphics hardware using the Wayland protocol.

Emacs is the hardest of my apps to persuade to talk Wayland protocol because Fedora's "emacs" package was compiled without the code that talks Wayland.

To persuade Chrome to talk Wayland protocol, I start it with specific command-line arguments, which used to cause bugs, but I haven't noticed any bugs for months.
