##### **Rationale** The XOrg 11 and KWin Wayland compositors are able to scale their outputs using 1:1 (integer — an example is 100%) and non-integer (125%) scales. However, I see *no* information online about how to scale GRUB. Instead, all I see are examples of workarounds utilizing the GRUB_GFXMODE="$RESOLUTION" variable to input a lower resolution value than its output device is capable of. ##### **Question** Consequently, can GRUB2's output be scaled? If so, how (I presume that the relevant variable is undocumented)? If not, why not (I presume that the functionality is merely absent)? ##### **Duplicates** I have asked for information specific to my OS/distribution (Fedora) at [discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/138655](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/can-grub2-be-scaled-if-so-how/138655/1#p-363681-rationale-1) . However, because [reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/ysx08r](https://www.reddit.com/r/EndeavourOS/comments/ysx08r/is_there_a_way_to_make_grub_scale_to_2x200/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) hasn't yet been answered, I'm not expecting any useful responses there. SE is my last port of call.
