Bringing the Framework Laptop to more of the world

Yeah personally I've settled with 100% with larger fonts. I probably spend 90% of my time in web browser + coding + terminal combined and they all handle arbitrary fractional scaling well from within the app.

And then maybe 5% of the time in graphics editing for which it doesn't matter.

For other locally run apps, scaling at 125% or 150% would be perfect but I think it's just a matter of time before Linux supports it properly without eating CPU.

If you can use wayland on your distro, it can do that fractional scaling. I think I settled on like 140%

Oh yeah I am on Wayland. (X didn't work well for me at all, choppy mouse motions.) Fractional scaling works, just seems to consume more CPU than 100% or 200% though.
