System76 employee (and HiDPI... enthusiast?) here! It does not need non-integer scaling. It's 3200x1800, which is like 1600x900 pixel-doubled. A great resolution for that physical size. This is also why you don't hear us talking about "4K" on that display, because that'd actually be too many pixels and require non-integer scaling for a usable UI.

Glad you guys have thought this through. I bought a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition in 2015 that was marketed as a perfect Linux laptop and came with Ubuntu preinstalled. It had a 13.3" screen with a resolution of 1080p, so the text and UI was almost unusable. Two years later, there's still no fix.
