Is there a way to get more 3:2 resolutions into the dropdown?
The native resolution is the only one in 3:2, but that is far too high resolution to be useful as a second screen on a desktop.
I run the scaler at 0.7x now to be useful, but the non-integer scaling causes issues (flickering mouse cursor)

Xubuntu uses the XFCE desktop. I love XFCE, however, I do not love it’s scaling options.
The 3:2 resolution you see is what is best for that display and what is available. Scaling XFCE is painful on a good day.
I don’t recall (as I have not used XFCE in ages) if Xubuntu supports Wayland like Ubuntu does. Wayland is required for a usable scaling experience.
I dont know for xfce, but i added in my /etc/profile (you can use .profile in your home apparently)
xrandr --newmode "1920x1280_60.00" 206.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1280 1283 1293 1327 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP-1 "1920x1280_60.00"
and it works on kde.
use
cvt x y 60
to generate the numbers (i took the infos from xrandr - How do I set a custom resolution? - Ask Ubuntu )

This is indeed one option to try, may help.

I’m experiencing the same problem… but before tweaking with configuration files, I’d like to understand why all (17!) resolutions that gnome-preferences (in Debian testing) proposes have some different ratio than 3:2. Can you confirm these are just the resolutions that the screen proposes to the OS (that is, not an issue with, say, graphic drivers)? Is this the same in Windows?
[BTW: I’m perfectly happy with the default resolution when I work on the laptop alone; but when it is on my desk, connected to my external monitor, it ends up being farther away from me, and I need something between the 100% and 200% scalings that GNOME proposes to me]
Hi, just booted up my new 13th Gen framework. Same issue, the fractionnal scaling is blurry on chrome and firefox, so pretty unusable for a daily laptop. I can zoom in for the browsers starting from a 100% scale, but all the other interfaces are going to be very small so I’d like to find a solution to make it somewhat 150%. I’m surprised this is not a major reported issue.
Update: I ran the script show by the framework team, and it’s still blurry
Update 2: by using x11 instead of wayland, fractional scaling is solved. I guess Wayland still has some work to do.

Hi @Florent_Destremau welcome to the Framework community,
yes apparently fractional scaling is still a work on progress on wayland, glad that you’ve settled with x11 to solve this issue.
