Using Pi5, Trixie (debian 31.2) and wayland.
I can change the resolution using a kanshi config file. However the full resolution is too small to be usable, so I want a smaller resolution.
1 For performance reasons, which is better, a specific resolution or a scaled one.2 Why is the kanshi config in ~/.config. What if I have another user? Why is a config file like that not in /etc ?
3 For information, when I used raindrop to change a resolution it overwrites the current kanshi configuration, which surprised me.
4 To allow for different resolutions, I have the ~/.config/kanshi/config as a symlink which I point to different profile file as wanted. Any thoughts on this way of doing it?

Code:
profile { output HDMI-A-2 enable scale 1.000000 mode 1920x1080@60.000 position 0,0 transform normal}or profile { output HDMI-A-2 enable scale 2.000000 mode 3840x2160@60.000 position 0,0 transform normal}3 For information, when I used raindrop to change a resolution it overwrites the current kanshi configuration, which surprised me.
