There is a way to toggle experimental fractional scaling in GNOME.

It's done by upscaling and downscaling by integer amounts, so it's not quite the same as true fractional scaling.

It works ok, Apple does it the same way. However, I find Microsoft's approach better.

>It works ok

...if you're OK with blur and wasted performance. I like my text crisp, rendered exactly to the desired size, with subpixel antialiasing, and knowing my hardware is not wasting cycles in rendering to a higher-than-needed resolution and then throwing some of that away with raster resampling.
