Hello? There are no plans to introduce "fractional scaling" in the X11 session; there is no way to do that that doesn't have severe side effects, and it would result in an extra maintenance burden, which should not be taken lightly, as most of the development team are primarily focusing on the Wayland session. Anyone is free to maintain such a patched version in for example a copr however. Interesting. Then, are there plans to support fractional scaling for X11 apps in XWayland in a better way? They render blurry (I think it's just a 100% program scaled up to match the size of the Wayland apps). This is the main reason to not use Wayland for a lot of people, as Electron and Java apps are our main needs. Thanks in advance. As for Xwayland, it's a complicated problems, and there are currently no solutions that doesn't involve choosing between either making HiDPI able X11 applications blurry while making non-HiDPI able X11 applications usable, and making HiDPI able X11 applications non-blurry while non-HiDPI able X11 applications being completely unusable. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '35'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13. Fedora Linux 35 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see the version field. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an active release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
