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.

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)

Guess I'll stiwch to Ardour then. I have tried both Ardour and LMMS in the past, but found Ardour to be too overwhelming. Thank your for writing such an elaborate comment, it really helps!

Also, I was really confused when I realized that the default Gnome installation which comes with Debian 12 is still X11. I thought gnome would have been Wayland only for some years by now. Might also just be the case because I'm using an NVidia GPU... Cuz yeah, Wayland really is just better to use now then X. That's my experience on my ThinkPad at least. I tried installing the Wayland version, but couldn't find it "gnome-session-wayland" in apt. I'll look further into things there.

Debian is LTS in your traditional sense, so it doesn't have the full Mutter feature set that current GNOME has. So X11 is probably your best bet if you're running Debian 12.

Also, judging by this article article Wayland is on by default.

A way to check this is to find the About pane on the GNOME Settings window to see if it's running under X11 or Wayland.

I already checked via some terminal command, it's X11.
