# Gnome Fractional Scaling
It appears [[gnome]] on [[wayland]] doesn't offer fractional scaling by default. It seems its an [[experimental]] feature that needs to be enabled via the command line

command:
```bash
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
```

After you do so (may need to reboot) you should have fractional scaling in the settings (under Settings > Devices > Displays). Wayland native applications should work fine. Legacy applications (i.e., those running using XWayland) may be a bit blurry.

> [!NOTE] You may need to do a bit of tweaking to get Firefox or VSCode to run as native Wayland apps, but it's doable. For example, see "Running natively under Wayland" [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Visual_Studio_Code), and "Wayland" [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/firefox#Wayland).
