I've learned not to hold my breath on Ubuntu + Nvidia cards ever working out of the box. I've been using Pop_OS as a daily driver (distro over Ubuntu) and it works 95% of the time.

Thanks for the tip. Just tried it. Looks nice but suffers from the same problem as Ubuntu 21.04: laggy with fractional scaling.

But fractional scaling with Nvidia did not work at all before 21.04 so I guess there is progress.

What level of scaling are you using? I tried turning on "large text" in Accessibility settings, which functions like 1.25

I tried 125% and 150%, both modes are too slow for me

I have it at 125% for one of my 4k screens, and I have no lag. Then again I have an AMD card.

Yep, the problem is specific to Nvidia cards
