Im on a Dell G5 15 laptop with a 1660ti. I set my built in monitor to 125%, and that looks fine, but for some reason my second monitor seems to be zoomed in a bunch, even though that is still at 100% I kinda need my laptop screen zoomed in since its so small, any advice? Pop!_OS LTS, dont remember version, but says “most recent”

    yeah i was thinking to make just a new boot and root part for fedora, and somehow tell it to use pop’s home as its own

      That would be a terrible idea, if you use the same username.

      Since each distro uses your home folder to store their configuration files, there would be a conflict and neither would function correctly.

      A solution would be to have your pop OS to have a user1 and your Fedora to have a user2. i.e. John for Pop and Jack for Fedora.

      But ultimately, what I would recommend would be the following :

      When you install fedora, you don’t have to use a different partition for home. It only has to use a single partition for everything. (iirc, fedora uses a filesystem called btrfs which is very practical for these cases)

      Let’s say your partition will look something like this

      • /dev/sda1 EFI
      • /dev/sda2 Win
      • /dev/sda3 Pop system
      • /dev/sda4 Pop home partition
      • /dev/sda5 Fedora (system+home)

      And if you want a shared space between all the OS you would then have another partition

      • /dev/sda6 share partition (exFAT or NTFS or FAT32)
