    I know that GNOME only allows integer scaling numbers to be set, and there are fixes like mutter-x11-scaling, by selecting large text in the accessibility options (which obviously only increases the text) or just switch to other desktop environments like KDE Plasma.

    To get proper fractional scaling on X11 with monitors of different pixel densities, you'll want to use either:

    1. GNOME with a patched version of Mutter, which is included by default in Ubuntu[1] and its derivatives (such as Pop!_OS and elementary OS). Manjaro also offers the patched version of Mutter as the mutter-x11-scaling package.[2] You'll need to enable the x11-randr-fractional-scaling experimental feature for any of these distros.[3]

    2. Cinnamon, included by default in Linux Mint

    To get proper fractional scaling on Wayland, you also have two options:

    1. GNOME Shell, with the scale-monitor-framebuffer experimental option enabled[4]

    2. KDE Plasma, which is still a little bit buggy on Wayland
