Scaling issue

I have a 4K laptop, so by default, a lot of apps are really small. I don’t really mind that, but when switching from app to app it’s pretty annoying. When I switched it on “Scaled by the system” in “Display & Monitor” Vivaldi was reeealy zoomed in and practically unusable. I had only few apps opened, so the issue is probably with more apps.

Can someone tell me how to choose this setting individually for each app? (not in-app settings but in system settings with some add-on or something).

Please can you provide you

Please, post the full log from garuda-inxi.
Try X11 from login screen or use System settings to scale.

If the app aloud this, you must check if the app has it in their config file.
