My biggest struggle gaming on Linux so far is that a lot of games don't seem to play nice with display scaling, maybe especially fractional scaling – I have my display at 150% because it's a big-but-not-enormous 4k display. Most games seem to then want to run at 'full screen' that's larger than my actual display. I wonder if there's a way to fix that beyond just switching display scaling on and off...

in reply to @bruno's post:
This has been a huge complaint for me using Linux Mint on my laptop, whenever I plug it into a larger display.
The best "solution" I've found is to just change the font scaling higher but leaving the display scaling at 100%. Some elements stay small but anything with text will scale enough to be readable/usable.
