This is an important blog post about upcoming font rendering and fractional scaling enhancements in Gtk 4.14:

You would need to use a modern Linux distro to receive such update, though.

Normally we do not cover alpha/beta/RC releases of software, but Linux kernel 6.9 RC1 has been released, and so far it is full of new and interesting features: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.9-rc1-Released

Makes you wonder, if this is the RC1, then until the final release there will be so much more. πŸŽ‰πŸ˜Ž
