After some more research, it turns out this is a pretty well-known problem on the Linux desktop (it's called HiDPI) without a good solution... except for this: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=159064 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94816 The solution is to patch xrandr with the capability to do nearest neighbor filtering and run xrandr like this: xrandr --output eDP1 --mode "3200x1800" --scale "0.5x0.5" It works great. - Grant
