GNOME Mutter patch with Xwayland fractional scaling support for HiDPI

Currently fractional scaling on wayland would cause xwayland applications to blur, and I'm very annoyed about this.
After some research, I found this MR on mutter repository: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/- … uests/3567
It's not yet merged, and has bugs like cursor clickthrough.

I forked and fixed some of its issues, and it's very usable for me now. Xwayland applications look nice and sharp.
I have packaged this patch into mutter-xwayland-scaling.
After installing the patch, run:

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

Then open Settings > Displays to set the scale.

All credits go to the authors of the original MR.
