wayland fractional scaling

About this tag
Wayland fractional scaling is a feature that allows applications to render at non-integer scale factors on Wayland display servers, providing sharper text and UI elements on high-DPI displays. In Firefox 146, Mozilla added native fractional-scaling support on Wayland for Linux, improving rendering quality on mixed-DPI setups. This update is part of a broader release that also includes a local backup assistant for Windows 10, a dedicated GPU process on macOS, and various rendering and privacy refinements. The feature addresses a long-standing request from Linux users who use fractional scaling to achieve optimal display clarity without blurriness.
