GNOME HiDPI Fractional scaling...
I know that GNOME only allows integer scaling numbers to be set, and there are fixes like mutter-x11-scaling, by selecting large text in the accessibility options (which obviously only increases the text) or just switch to other desktop environments like KDE Plasma.

Ask HN: Functioning hidpi setup on Linux, how?
> With X, all monitors must share the same pix density
To get proper fractional scaling on X11 with monitors of different pixel densities, you'll want to use either:
1. GNOME with a patched version of Mutter, which is included by default in Ubuntu[1] and its derivatives (such as Pop!_OS and elementary OS). Manjaro also offers the patched version of Mutter as the mutter-x11-scaling package.[2] You'll need to enable the x11-randr-fractional-scaling experimental feature for any of these distros.[3]
2. Cinnamon, included by default in Linux Mint
To get proper fractional scaling on Wayland, you also have two options:
1. GNOME Shell, with the scale-monitor-framebuffer experimental option enabled[4]
2. KDE Plasma, which is still a little bit buggy on Wayland
