I wish there was a way of using fractional scaling (on Linux) without making all monochrome images in the web browser look like crap because they're getting subtly scaled, even when you try to match the scale factor precisely.

(and I'm doing 125% fractional scaling, so it's not like it's a really *weird* number)

It's kind of sad when you're walking down memory lane on infinitemac.org, and it looks like blurry trash. :'(

How to Fix Blurry Firefox under Wayland on Ubuntu

The 2K screen on my “main” Ubuntu laptop is pin sharp but, alas, Mozilla Firefox is not! Now, I’m not saying the browser looks awful. It’s perfectly usable, and I reckon a fair number of people would struggle to see any issue at all. But I do. Fonts within the UI and within the web content are slightly blurry, and window controls, buttons, and other icons rendered don’t appear as crisp or pixel-perfect as the rest of the GNOME desktop I’ve no idea how “widespread” this issue is as, honestly, blurry fonts in a browser on Linux could be caused :sys_more_orange:
