Resize Ghidra for High DPI screens

If you run Ghidra on a high DPI screen, you will probably find the GUI to be scaled down so small to be almost of no use.

There is a setting that you can adjust to scale the Ghidra GUI:

in $GHIDRA_ROOT/support is a file named launch.properties. In this launch.properties file is the following configuration key:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1

Change this line to:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

Then launch ghidra and you should be good to go!

How do I make the change on a Ubuntu system with a snap ghidra? The /snap/ filesystem is read-only.
