How to Build for Other Distributions
I'm currently using a **rolling distribution **of OpenSUSE with the Gnome desktop environment, but since my screen isn't friendly to GNOME Wayland's native fractional scaling and gets fuzzy, and I'd like to use xorg but there's no corresponding patch for it, I'd like to ask about how to build against OpenSUSE.
No matter what distro is used, one can do the same thing by applying the same Ubuntu patches.
For example, check the spec files for openSUSE and Fedora:
Keep in mind you're "barking up the wrong tree" here if you're not using Arch or an Arch based distribution.
You'll need to ask in the proper support channels for your distribution for further assistance.
Please also keep in mind that this patch-set is split in two parts, for Mutter and Gnome Control Center. To enable complete fractional scaling support, you would have to patch both packages, as pointed out by the developer here.
The Ubuntu patches can be found on their Gitlab.
For Mutter: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/blob/ubuntu/latest/debian/patches/ubuntu/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch?ref_type=heads
For G-C-C: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-control-center/-/blob/ubuntu/latest/debian/patches/ubuntu/display-Support-UI-scaled-logical-monitor-mode.patch?ref_type=heads
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-control-center/-/blob/ubuntu/latest/debian/patches/ubuntu/display-Allow-fractional-scaling-to-be-enabled.patch?ref_type=heads
