I use a Dell XPS 13 laptop with a 4k screen. I only ever use in FHD resolution.
Whenever I connect an external screen that I've not used before (this happens surprisingly often), Mint autodetects the new screen, sets it to FHD (good), but sets the built-in screen to 4k (bad) with a user interface scale of 200% (also bad), so I have to access display settings, switch to FHD and do resize many open windows. Not the end of the world, but tedious.
Is there a way to tell Mint which resolution and scale to use by default on my built-in screen, i.e. to retain FHD and 100% scale on the built-in display, regardless of the kind of external display I connect?
