because a lot of X11 applications are just not even BOTHERING to try scale themselves
because a lot of X11 applications are just not even BOTHERING to try scale themselves
Asteam for example just launches all tiny if I have that turned on
KThey still have to be scaling aware
Ayeah but the thing is
KSteam definitely isn't
Asteam IS
Ascaling aware
Ano it is
Abecause under gnome
KIt has a custom launch option for it
Ait scales just file with those patches
KIt's probably doing something really cursed under the hood
Cam i weird that i would much rather spend an hour trying to get a rare game that doesnt work on linux working than boot into windows
Aalso there's an option here
Cwindows is just extremely unpleasant to use even for short periods
Asteam does natively support it
Aso do apps like VLC for example
KYo that's cool, we have the same disorder
Abut VLC also cacks itself with scaling
CSteam changed their default scaling at 4K from 200% to 150% a couple days back
Cits called penguin syndrome
Ait wasn't 150% I can be sure of that
Ait was 100% because it was TINY
AI had to add a switch to the launch option to make it work
CThat was on the beta branch
CDon't know if you're opted-in
Anah
Astable
Athis was after a fresh install
A200% scaled my main monitor, changed that setting, rebooted
Astarted steam
Ait was tiny
Ain GNOME it just... knew it was running at a scaled resolution for fractional scaling so it was able to scale itself up accordingly
AI KNOW steam supports it because it worked just fine when I had fractional scaling going under gnome alongside the experimental xwayland fractional scaling aware patches
Aas did VLC
Aas did basically most of my X11 apps
Athey were smart enough to auto scale themselves
Aunder plasma?
ANO CLUE
Kyea, steams scaling seems to presently just... not under (wayland) plasma
Ka bit unfortunate
Ayeah
Ameanwhile it's working perfectly under GNOME wayland with gnome's experimental fractional scaling enabled and an experimental xwayland fractional scaling aware patch merged into the system
KI'll take no scaling over using gnome though 
AI mean "no scaling" is another one of those things that adds to my evergrowing list of annoyances with KDE Plasma atm
Athe gaming experience better be that much better than it was under GNOME otherwise I'm just swapping back to Bazzite GNOME at this point lmfao
Kshould be the same outside of HDR
K'scaled by the system' still works, it's just that steam itself doesn't know how to do it
Kbut steam itself doesn't actually support wayland afaik
CJust auto-updated, triple buffering seems to be working wonders
Dright click steam in the applications menu and click "edit application" and put what i have in the environment variables section but change the number to 2
