export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 no longer works (lemmy.kde.social)

I'm trying to get the scaling right on my 4k monitors, but icons look wonky, and the whole thing doesn't look right. I used to just throw export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in /etc/environment or ~/profile, log out and log back in, and I'm good, but now this doesn't do anything. I can't be on wayland 100% since not everything works still. Any idea why this is?

If you are using systemd to start plasmashell, you can add Environment="PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1" to plasma-plasmashell.service

Where do I find plasma-plasmashell.service?

[–] Coelacanthus@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Usually in /usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service, but you can edit with systemctl --user edit plasma-plasmashell.service directly.

That killed the whole xorg session. It logs into a black screen with only the cursor. I've been messing with it for about 3 days. So, I just went ahead nuked my whole system, including my home drive and reinstalled from scratch. All good now. It was painful to restore all of my home files from server, but we are all good now.

I am using systemd. I'll try that and report back. Thank you so much
