| # Enable fractional scaling on Ubuntu 18.04 | |
| # | |
| # Problem: | |
| # -------- | |
| # - Ubuntu 18.04 runs on Gnome 3.28, whichs does not support fractional scaling (120%, 130%). | |
| # - As a result, the text and icon on my 4K 27" monitor are very small. | |
| # | |
| # Usage: | |
| # ------- | |
| # Enable executable script: | |
| # > chmod +x fscale.h | |
| # > /fscale.h | |
| gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 | |
| gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor': <2>}" | |
| xrandr --output DP-1 --scale 1.5x1.5 | |
| xrandr --output DP-1 --panning 3840x2160 |
It's been a long time. I forgot how to disable it tbh.
Highly recommend Ubuntu 20.04. It scales well on my 4K screen

How do you kill this script in Ubuntu 18.4 LTS? I ran this script using the terminal and can't figure out how to revert back to my old settings
