How to turn on fractional scaling #650
-
|
The system currently only supports integer scaling, but 1x scaling is too small and 2x scaling is too large. I use text scaling to enlarge the interface, but this method is ineffective for some applications. I need fractional scaling. Can anyone tell me how to enable it? Why doesn't the system support it by default? |

From what I've heard there is no way to enable fractional scaling natively, your only option is to change the font size. |

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"in the terminal. Now fractional scaling options should show up per monitor in the display settings.Note though that fractional scaling is still experimental and some apps may look blurry. I use it everyday though :)
