[SOLVED] Gnome desktop at 7680x2160p

Post by alexbuell » Mon Feb 16, 2026 7:43 pm

So I've got my 7680x2160p desktop all sorted.

Wayland seems to only offer 100%, 200%, 300% and 400% scaling.
My ideal desktop needs to be either 125% or 150%, but there's no way to specify a custom scaling?

Any ideas?

Gtk support fractional scaling but its considered experimental and disabled by defualt:

To enable it, open a terminal and issue the following command:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
You may to log out then back in for it to take effect.

It's quite weird, in Plasma + Wayland I can change scale steps by 5%.

Fantastic, that's sorted my issue. Did not even need to log out.

Thank you once again!
