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.

I use openSUSE and Plasma. I can just right click the start menu thing, and click "Edit Applications". Fro m there, I find Steam (Games -> Steam). And you can edit the command in the "Program" box.
I did something similar to get Steam to run in my GPU, since it was killing my CPU performance by running on the integrated GPU. It worked fine for me!
Good luck!
Ok, so there is this line in there
/usr/bin/steam-native, what do I append to it?You got it working by appending
-forcedesktopscaling 2, right? try appending that so it is/usr/bin/steam-native -forcedesktopscaling 2.I would bet that your
steamcommand is a link pointing to/usr/bin/steam-native. You could find out withwhich steam | xargs ls -alIt fails to launch when I appended that line. It's ok, I will just use the terminal. I'm getting sick of it. Thank you for your help
Launch options need to be set in their own "Arguments" line, it should work then. Like this:
And if you also want to use the "GDK_SCALE=2" environment variable, as suggested elsewhere in this thread, this would need to be set in the "Environment Variables" line.
Didn't work. I just gave up on it. Lol
