I'm considering buying a 1440p ultrawide display for my gaming machine (Linux Mint, Cinnamon X.Org). Is it possible to set certain games to only use the "middle" of the display? I ask because e.g. a game like League of Legends (it's my guilty pleasure, don't judge! ๐Ÿ˜‚) doesn't seem like a good fit for ultrawide, and I'd rather play it at 2560ร—1440 "centered" with black bars on the side.

Does anybody know? Thanks!

I don't recomend Ultrawide Displays for gaming on linux. Get it and you,LL SUFFER (spoky voice).. The EDID of my UW display (predator) is horrible .. like.. uw 1440p or 768p and nothing in between..

Tbh theres have been a couple of years since the last time I tried and people says that gamescope does the trick but I didn't tried.. but believe me that It was a real pain in the passt to avoid res stretching.
