Comment on Ask HN: Functioning hidpi setup on Linux, how?

I had relatively little issues with this on Debian on my HP Spectre x360 (2019 model I think)

Relevant excerpt from my install log

Setting global scale to 200-250% in KDE 5 and upping a few fonts seems to fix virtually all HiDPI-issues, except for SDDM and the console framebuffer. You may also want to resize the start bar size, but that is personal preference.

For SDDM:

Put in /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

  [X11]
  ServerArguments=-dpi 240
  EnableHiDPI=true
