Any news on proper (baked-in) VRR support with Wayland?
Cool but when is GNOME gonna do fractional scaling without half the apps I use going blurry?
When half of the apps your’re using start supporting wayland properly

I don’t understand the downvotes.
This isn’t only an app issue, it’s the implementation in Mutter.
On KDE for example, I’ve set 150% fractional scaling, and all apps look sharp.
I was really hyped when the recent update introduced “proper” fractional scaling, and was bummed when I noticed it didn’t work in many of my apps, especially Electron ones.
