Can
't you just change the resolution in games
?

Some of this is Gnome
's problem by the way
(games seeing a different resolution
)
. Try KDE
, I have no problems with scaling there

I also prefer Gnome
's design by the way but KDE just simply does scaling better and that was the deal breaker for me on a 4K monitor

You can always stick to Gnome and use gamescope for games I guess

Also games usually run under XWayland so make sure you enable the flag to tell X apps to do the scaling themselves

This should allow you to do fractional scaling as well as fix scaling with XWayland apps
(as in have them do it instead of the system doing it
)

xwayland native scaling makes life hell if you have say a 3440x1440
@100
% and a 2560x1600
@150

Probably because xwayland native scaling was off

is the only problem you
're having with the resolution steam games

cause gamescope can set resolutions for games
gamescope -W 5120 -H 2160 -- %command%
gamescope -W 5120 -H 2160 -- %command%
