Ways to adjust display scaling?
Hey guys, I just hooked my Linux Mint machine to my 4K 28" monitor that I usually use my Windows gaming PC on, and everything is way to small. I have to constantly squint lol. I did some searching around the settings and did find a scaling option under "General" but it only gives me the choice to leave it "Normal" or "Double" Double is far too big and it messes up the scaling on my second 1440p monitor. Is there a way to adjust this in terminal? On windows, it is where you choose the resolution and I have it set to 125%/ Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Ways to adjust display scaling?
Welcome to the Linux Mint forums.
You can set user interface scaling to double and then fine-tune the text size by adjusting the text scaling factor (e.g., set it to 0.9 to decrease text size by 10%). If you're using Cinnamon you can find the former under General and the latter under Fonts. There is no fractional user interface scaling (yet).
Per-display scaling is not available so you'r stuck in a bad place with using displays with vastly different DPIs.
