Fractional scaling in Wayland is great news.<p>Until now if you had linux on a high resolution touch screen computer you had to make do with a subpar experience. It doesn&#x27;t matter which combination of X11&#x2F;Wayland and KDE&#x2F;Gnome you chose.<p>In X11 : touch support is bad to the point of being unusable but you can scale the UI with fractions.<p>In wayland : touch support is better but you can only scale per unit (100%, 200%) which makes things either way too small or way too big.

&gt; This release features a refreshed visual style ranging from an entirely new set of app icons to improvements to the user interface style. Many of the base style colors have been saturated, giving them a more vivid, vibrant appearance. Buttons are more rounded and have a softer “shadow” border. Switches no longer use the explicit ON and OFF text, instead using color to indicate state.

&gt; Switches no longer use the explicit ON and OFF text, instead using color to indicate state.<p>This is my only complaint, it&#x27;s not to bad in the default theme but can be confusing with others. Having the text used used very little additional space and was completely unambiguous in every theme.
