How can I set a Virtual Resolution of 1920*1080 in a 1366*768 Monitor

[zakee (Muhammed Zakeeyullah)]

I am not getting a good visual quality when I change my resolution to 19201080 in my 1366768 monitor… but this was not the same in Windows… It worked nice. I have this problem in my Fedora 43 Installation. Right now, I will not be able to get an HD Monitor, Is there any workaround to emulate a virtual resolution to get a good visual..

When I tested the same in distro sea, the visual was good… In the below image shows the poor visual of my main desktop on the top and down bars, while the distosea shows it nice.

Can anyone help me in this.

Could you use ‘scaling’ instead of changing resolution?

[zakee (Muhammed Zakeeyullah)]

The issue is scaling only be done 100%+ not 100%-, I need more space in my desktop with a clear view… That is why I am trying 1920*1080 resolution which will satisfy my requirement.

If I use 125% from the resolution 1920*1080, it will shrink my workspace. And also is not giving the natural visual quality.

An idea I have not tested is maybe KDE or another desktop can do this better than Gnome?
You could test this with a live USB

To get more screen real estate, you could keep your maximum native resolution, and decrease the font sizes:

• Check current font sizes with:

gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.interface | grep font-name

• Descrease them to your liking with:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Adwaita Mono 10' &&\
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name 'Adwaita Sans 10' &&\
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Adwaita Sans 10'

(replacing the size of the fonts as needed).

KDE does fractional scalling

Thank You @tqcharm, following your instructions… I also inquired chatgpt on slim fonts that can give me more room for my workspace with your solution… finally I settled with the following:

# Installing the Fonts
sudo dnf install liberation-mono-fonts google-roboto-condensed-fonts -y

# Monospace (for terminal)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Liberation Mono 9'

# Document fonts (apps)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name 'Roboto Condensed 9'

# Interface fonts (menus, buttons)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Roboto Condensed 9'

# Slightly smaller overall scale
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 0.9

Additionally, I also installed an extension that will give me more space in the top bar called “Status Area Horizontal Spacing”… Now my desktop looks good with some other extensions and must help me to be productive.

Thank You for all who tried to help me answering to my problem.
