BetterScale – A better way to scale on x11 (gnome/budgie)
For those that are interested. I basically wrapped up xrandr & the experimental GDK WindowScalingFactor feature so that people don't have to decipher how to make it work well. You run the script, select the scale you want and it is that simple.

[ 3.5 ms ] story [ 11.2 ms ] threadIt's hard to tell how useful this app is with a non-HiDPI monitor since it quickly gets into unusable resolution territory, but still HD or HiDPI I find this to be very useful and extremely sharp looking.

I made this in part because I was getting tired of someone telling me how blurry everything would be scaling things like this, but clearly that person had never figured out how to use xrandr properly or used it with a DE that had good up scaling support to begin with.
