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

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. :/

Have you tried to reboot your PC?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
