On KDE, you end up having to scale up the second window to the same
resolution although it doesn't stay and I've had to use a script to
reset the displays.

xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --auto --scale 1x1 --primary --output
DisplayPort-1 --auto --scale 4x4 --right-of DisplayPort-0
xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --auto --scale 1x1 --primary --output
DisplayPort-1 --auto --scale 2x2 --right-of DisplayPort-0

The first scales up the screen and the second scales it back down to the
correct size, this is so the KDE pager shows up correctly.

You'll then need to change font sizes.

You'll need to set up env vars as well for QT and GTK apps so they scale
properly, even then hard coded apps won't scale.

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
GDK_SCALE=2

This whole HiDPI stuff on Linux is a mess.
