When looking at text either on beta or stable the text in all area is so tiny I have to use the zoom function on accessibility settings of Linux. No way to increase the font size and steam doesn’t scale with the operating system. I’m using 1920x1080 on a 1080p 40” hdtv.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open steam

Hello @derekagraham78, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? In addition to the last comment, can you check the setting at Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> Enlarge text and icons based on monitor size (requires restart)?
