Desktop Linux Adventures: Fractional Scaling on Asahi Linux

Here is the snippet for gsettings to enable fractional scaling in Asahi if you have an M1 MacBook Air like myself. Since I first installed Asahi on my M1 Air, I have been using GNOME with 200% scaling. It looks good, but the real estate that it leaves me to do work is restrictive. I think at the 2560x1600 resolution that the M1 Air provides, I am most productive at about 175% scaling.

Unfortunately, the way to enable fractional scaling isn't obvious. Here's how you can force it by executing the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

You will need to just log out and log back in and everything will be well!
