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.

odd scaling issue with lmms (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

All my applications scale perfectly fine (in that they just don't change their scale factor when moving from monitor to monitor). But somehow lmms scales very weirdly. The main monitor shows the program way too large (like in the photo, that is fullscreen) and my side monitor shows the application in slightly too small scale and the text is miniscule. This video shows the difference between the two: https://youtu.be/r8IIEwjYbEo Does someone know what might be going on here? I'm running Debian 12 with Gnome 43 (seemingly X11) with the website version of lmms (stable)

That's unfortunate. I guess I'll have to live with the apt provided version without vestige then...

Could you try it on Wayland? It would likely use xwayland anyway but maybe it gets the geometry reported differently and scales differently? Or even try the Valve compositor to rescale things? Thinking it loud as I've not tried them at all for something like this but maybe worth looking into.
