Resource Scale for Fractional Scaling support in GNOME Shell 3.32


The news spread out quite quickly, once last Friday Jonas pressed the button and that triggered the last-second merge for the relevant proposals we prepared for Mutter and GNOME Shell in order to get this available for GNOME 3.32.
As someone might recall, we started this work some years ago (ouch!) and lead to an Hackfest in Taipei, but in between other work to do and priorities which caused this to be delayed a bit. While the first iteration was ready for some time now. But at every review we improved things fixing bugs (like missing scaled widgets) and optimizing some code paths, so hopefully this time helped in serving better quality
.
We’ve still quite a lot of work to do (see these issues for mutter and shell) and some fixes that we have in queue already, but the main task is there. So starting from now the shell will paint all its elements properly and in good visual quality at any fractional scaled value, and independently for every monitor.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
