Comment on Different scaling on HiDPI monitor

Not easily. You would have to launch the Wayland version of the desktop instead of the X version.
Basically Wayland is a newer graphics stack for Linux that has more support for such things like separate scaling. Unfortunately it is still a little bit buggy with KDE. I guess that’s why Valve didn’t use that for the desktop.
The Steam Deck probably doesn’t even have everything needed to run the desktop with Wayland, so it’s probably hard to achieve.

Thank you for the explanation. I run everything at 100% then until SteamOS desktop mode also switches to Wayland.

My workaround on my Linux laptop with a hidpi display was to use half the resolution on the hidpi one. I didn’t need the high resolution anyways.
