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

    I recommend to use the environment variable. Place a text file, steam.sh for example, into ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/ containing

    !/bin/sh
export STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=2.0

      So, I created this file. I assume it needs to be set as “executable”? Did that and put in the path you suggested. Now what? Launched steam, still the same. Launch the file itself and nothing happened. :/
