how to scale Gnome to user defined percentage

[Anil F Duggirala]

hello,

I am struggling more than enjoying the high-DPI display on my new laptop.

Gnome allows me to scale my display, to 200, 300, 400 %. Is there an 
easy way to scale to 250% for example?

Does scaling like this in Gnome affect peformance of displaying?

thank you,

Are you using Xorg?

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011 indicates that
fractional scaling in Gnome was available in Wayland 2 years ago,
but not easily implemented for Xorg.

Hello George,

I am on Wayland. I am not having any perceivable issues right now (I'm 
at 200 %).

I would like to know how to set scaling to a 250%,

thanks,
