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.

Windows are tiny on Bazzite ( Fedora Gnome) (self.linux)

I bought my nephew a used thinkpad as a gift and installed Bazzite as it was recommended by the community. The text was tiny so I increased font size by 1.5, but certain windows like steam updating are still tiny and impossible to read. I want to give him the best experience possible out of the box. What setting do I need to change?

You are probably looking for "scaling"

Thanks, this was it, it's in display settings for anyone else wondering.

It's in the display settings FYI

I'm actually now having the issue when I install things with wine. The text on the header on top of the window is normal, but the installer is tiny. Not a huge issue, just weird. Games are mostly fine when I run them so no big deal.
