Are NixOS and Guix analogous projects? From what I can tell, both NixOS and Guix are built around a package manager which, instead of installing package into the "common environment" as is traditional, isolates them to mitigate issues arising from various dependency/version conflicts.

A: How to fix DPI for Spotify There's multiple, sometimes overlapping ways of altering the DPI globally on Linux. You should first ensure these are properly configured and Spotify is still not using them correctly. However, Spotify provides a `--force-device-scale-factor` argument for controlling DPI scaling.

I don't have time for a full answer, but basically it's:
1. Find the `.desktop` file for the app (see https://linux.codidact.com/posts/289648)
2. Edit the file's `Exec` field etc.
3. Note the difference between `.desktop`s under system paths like `/usr/share` and user paths under `~`. (more) |
