From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

X11 is pretty janky regarding fractional scaling across multiple monitors. This should be improved when Pop!OS upgrades to CosmicDE which uses Wayland by fefault.
I was going to suggest the opposite. I have nothing but problems with fractional scaling on Wayland, which is one of the main reasons I still run X. My main workstation has 3 monitors, and X's fractional scaling works smoothly.
With a lot of distros defaulting to Wayland, it'd be interesting to know which OP is running, and causing them grief. Does Pop!OS use X only for now?
Pop is X11 by default. I think you can get Wayland up since its just GNOME but idk
