From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Stretching a lower resolution to fill the screen under KDE Wayland? (lemmy.ml)

I recently figured out how nice Wine works for running old Windows games. However, many of them are fixed at 800x600 or another similarly low resolution. No big deal under X11 or Windows since the game will just stretch to fill the screen. But on KDE Wayland, the game just runs unscaled with black bars all around and none of the display settings seem to help. Is there an accepted way of setting the screen to a lower resolution but stretching it to fit the full display on Wayland sessions?
