From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, but it sucks. Most XWayland-apps are blurry. So, I have the choice between not being able to read something because of my screen resolution at 100% scale, or activating fractional scaling and having half of my apps blurry.
There was the talk about font scaling a while ago, where UI elements also scale with the font size. Has something happened there?
I think the blurry of XWayland apps won't be solved in this release, there were some news that may be combined with the settings and make Xwayland apps to be able to scale themselves like in KDE, if I understood it correctly
