Pop on Frame.workâso far so good
I also had poor performance with fractional scaling and ended up using HiDPI-Fixer to get a fractional scale that worked better for me. I did have to set up a systemd service that runs after the suspend/hibernate targets to retrigger the scaling script as it wouldn't run after waking after putting the computer to sleep by closing the lid (putting it to sleep through software or the power button first did work). Nothing else seemed to work for me as I think it may have something to do with how closing the lid disconnects the display before the system is suspended but I honestly don't know.
