What’s wrong with Gnome’s multi monitor support? My two monitors even have different pixel density.

Can't switch between workspace 1 and 2 on my right monitor while leaving my left one on workspace 3. In fact, I believe by default I wouldn't even get workspaces on my secondary monitor. Because who needs 'organization' anyway?

I see. I’ve always preferred to switch workspaces together.

Gnome works OK with integer scaling, more granular than this and you're up shit creek.

E.G. can you set one screen to 150% and one to 175%? (I think the answer to this is 'technically yes but then everything goes a bit blurry because they do it by rendering at 2x then downscaling')

Proper mixed dpi scaling means stuff will render pixel-perfectly instead of downscaling hacks.

I have two 4K monitors, one at 150% and another at 175%. Nothing is blurry.

I did have to get a reasonably new Gnome, Ubuntu LTS had one that was broken with fractional scaling.
