Fixing Ghidra Annoyances on Linux with High-DPI Screens

At this point, I’ve written quite a bit about how I’ve switched completely over to Linux as my primary OS. As with any change in workflow, this has required solving a number of annoyances on my new computing platform. Among the annoyances I’ve had to solve is getting Ghidra working smoothly for me.

The Problem

Let me start by explaining the problem. You see, I’m no stranger to running Ghidra on Linux. I’ve been doing it literally for years at this point. As of the past few years, I’ve simply used the Flatpak version of Ghidra. Typically, this works just fine. The problems arise with trying to use it on my desktop computer, which has two large, 4K screens connected to it.

I’ve recently found myself wanting to further my reverse engineering skills. One of the ways I’ll be doing this is by working on crackmes. This one in particular is from Crackmes.de user seVeb and is called crackme05. It’s marked as a C/C++ program compiled for Linux and is rated as being easy. Sounds like a perfect place to start!
