“Better” still has some asterisks, for example though KDE is by far the best of the major DEs in terms of fractional scaling support under Wayland, it still has some oddities like Aurora window decoration themes not drawing properly with fractional scaling, limiting the user to one of a tiny handful of C++ window decorations (the overwhelming majority are Aurora). GTK apps under KDE can act a bit funny too, with e.g. your cursor drawing at 2x when hovering over a GTK window.

I deal with these things daily using a Thinkpad with a display that requires 1.5x scaling to be usable. Can’t wait for these issues to be solved and for the asterisks to disappear.

Yea, GTK4 to my knowledge until now doesn't support fractional scaling, but the new™ ngl and vulkan renderers should be able to do fractional scaling. If it's actually hooked up to do so is another question.
