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.

Plasma 5.27 - GTK apps - fractional scaling - X11 (feddit.it)

I’m running the latest plasma with X11 (Arch). Fractional scaling is working fine with all the qt based apps but I’m experiencing size issues with gtk apps (Lutris or VMware for ex.). Fonts are rendered ok but scaling is not correctly applied to window and icons (titlebar is too small). Is there some kind of workaround? Under wayland things were running smoothly. Thanks

Qt has native support of fractional scaling both on X11 and wayland (wp-fractional-scale)

On the other hand GTK3/4 only support integer scaling. So on wayland it's they are basically rendered at x2 and downscaled to your fractional scale factor.

I get it. So there’s no workaround if understand correctly…
