Fractional scaling resets on sleep in Linux
On the github page for the HiDPI Daemon it says "This program is for managing HiDPI and LoDPI monitors on X. This program is installed by default in Pop!_OS and Ubuntu (if installed by System76 and can be added with this article)."

Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
> System76 with Pop_OS! has an opportunity to tackle topics head on like "we can make fractional scaling work somewhat decently across all apps" (IIUC currently requires shipping a forked XWayland, unfortunately)
I'm excited to see System76's implementation of fractional scaling in this new desktop environment. Since they have actually sold laptops with 1080p and sometimes 4K displays, they have a real incentive to get this feature working smoothly on Wayland.
System76 previously developed a HiDPI daemon for X11 to be used with GNOME Shell:

- Help page: https://support.system76.com/articles/hidpi-multi-monitor/
- Source: https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon
It handles multiple scaling factors, including fractional ones, flawlessly across displays.
If the next version of COSMIC supports fractional scaling on Wayland as well as this daemon does on X11, this alone would make the entire project will be worth it. GNOME Shell still hides fine-grained fractional scaling behind an experimental flag for both X11 and Wayland, with X11 needing a patch for Mutter.

The Razer Blade Stealth Late 2020 and Pop!_OS Are a Perfect Match
Hi u/Borisminator! I'm a razer+Pop!_OS user too. Mine is the early2020. A couple of questions: - Are you having the scratching noise when the fans start up? (https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/jvh90m/razer_blade_2020_scratching_noise_when_fans_start/ - my video in the comments) - I'm having lots of errors from hidpi-daemon when I set hybrid mode ( https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon/issues/34 and https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon/issues/38 )

The Serval WS from System76: A Powerful Linux Workstation Running PopOS
The following Linux distributions support different scaling factors on different displays by default: Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Manjaro.
Pop!_OS (developed by System76) created its own HiDPI daemon to handle HiDPI and LoDPI displays on X11 at the same time:
https://github.com/pop-os/hidpi-daemon
https://blog.system76.com/post/174414833678/all-about-the-hi...
Ubuntu's fork of the Mutter display manager (used by its fork of GNOME) includes a patch to handle different display resolutions for HiDPI and LoDPI displays on X11:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/182085...
Linux Mint implemented fractional display scaling, with different settings for each display, in Cinnamon 4.6:
https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3858
Arch Linux users can also use Cinnamon for the same features.
If you are using Manjaro, you can install the mutter-x11-scaling package to replace Mutter with a version that includes Ubuntu's changes:
https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/mutter-x11-scaling...
https://github.com/puxplaying/mutter-x11-scaling
Finally, if you are using GNOME on Wayland, mixed scaling is already supported. To enable fractional scaling, activate the "scale-monitor-framebuffer" setting:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#GNOME
On Wayland, scaled applications that do not use GTK 3+ or Qt 5+ may appear blurry. This affects all Electron applications. X11 does not have the same issue, but Wayland is generally more stable than X11 in other areas.

Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
You mean the one that was forked 12 days ago?
https://github.com/pop-os/nvidia-docker/commit/aa9fbcff6e6e5...
This changes nothing about my story and the naivety of the Pop OS developers thinking it could be replaced with their bespoke custom tooling. nvidia-container-toolkit was only merged with nvidia-docker in December. Previous versions were separate.
What are some alternatives?
