Did you find a solution to this? I have a colleague with a very high resolution laptop and 1080p screen, he has a python script he uses to manage the scaling - I can dig it out if you like?

I found that per-monitor scaling is just about passable if you use Wayland instead of X11, but then I get a bunch of different issues. For example I can't use the GTX 1050 and the clipboard doesn't work reliably with Snaps, etc.
Like @Velocio suggests, I just use the external screen.
I'd be interested to see your colleague's python script though.

Question: My XPS15 has a 4k screen, and when I'm at home or work I like to plug it in to an external monitor.
The problem is that my external monitors have a much lower PPI, and I so can't use the monitor and laptop screen simultaneously. I haven't been able to get per-monitor scaling to work well in Linux.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is the solution to get a 4k monitor? Do Windows or OSX handle variable scaling well?
