Hi all, I have a 4k monitor and the steam app is very tiny. I have found out that I can fix it by running the app in the terminal with steam -forcedesktopscaling 2, but it is getting tiring launching it through the terminal. Is there any way I can change something in the app itself and make it launch with that command? KDE Plasma on endeavour OS is what I’m running Tried going into the .desktop file to add the command somewhere in the “exec”, but failed. Could someone please help? Thank you

    Switched to this Exec=steam -forcedesktopscaling 2 %U and it still didn’t work. Changed a couple of things there and still nothing. Damn, this is so annoying. Guess I will need to just do it through the terminal and call it a day

      I just use in my Exec=

      Exec=GDK_SCALE=2 steam

      but that may differ in looks from the options you are using

      I have a steam-big-ui.desktop that gives me the option to run in big mode, or I run normal steam for small mode.
