There's some things you could try listed on this page: https://dev.cancel.fm/wiki?name=Linux_DPI_Problems

Gnome should probably have the correct DPI values, since it's a complete DE, but I'm guessing something has gone wrong with the way the Qt version that Ripcord uses is reading the DPI values.

Try something like:

    QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 ./Ripcord.AppImage
It would be better if this always worked out-of-the-box 100% of the time, but Linux desktop environments are quite varied and it's hard to handle every case while also not limiting support to specific desktop environments and versions.
