I’m using NixOS with GNOME 48, with org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features set to ['scale-monitor-framebuffer', 'kms-modifiers', 'variable-refresh-rate', 'xwayland-native-scaling']. My PC has two monitors:
- 3840x2160 32" (DPI 138)
- 1920x1080 23" (DPI 96)
I used to have KDE Plasma on this setup, and it automatically set the 1080P monitor’s scaling factor to 100% and the 2160P’s to 145%. I can move windows between them smoothly. And even if a window is in the middle of two screens, it gets split perfectly in visual.
But on GNOME I can only set the scaling factor to 150% or 125%, so when I move a window between the two monitors, visual misalignment occurs, and the experience is not as perfect as that on KDE Plasma.
Could GNOME support custom scaling factors (e.g., 145%) similar to KDE Plasma? This would greatly improve the experience in multi-monitor setups with different DPI monitors.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
