This is the best summary I could come up with:

GNOME 46 is getting ready for release in March and as such the alpha release is being prepared to facilitate early testing of this in-development desktop environment.

GNOME 46 is all the more important with it appearing in the likes of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Fedora 40 this spring.

  • More profiling instrumentation has been added for helping to uncover performance bottlenecks.

  • Fixing a performance problem due to repeated signal leak.

  • Improved monitor on-screen display (OSD) labels.

Cool but when is GNOME gonna do fractional scaling without half the apps I use going blurry?

When half of the apps your’re using start supporting wayland properly

I don’t understand the downvotes.

This isn’t only an app issue, it’s the implementation in Mutter.

On KDE for example, I’ve set 150% fractional scaling, and all apps look sharp.

I was really hyped when the recent update introduced “proper” fractional scaling, and was bummed when I noticed it didn’t work in many of my apps, especially Electron ones.

Any news on proper (baked-in) VRR support with Wayland?
