Steam client is ignoring DPI for 4K monitors on Ubuntu 19.04 by default. It was absolutely tiny! But I found the setting to fix it:

Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> "Enlarge text and icons based on monitor size (requires restart)"

I'm not sure why that's not checked by default, but it fixes the problem for me. Thought I would share.

Just installed the flatpak version on my arch linux laptop. "Enlarge text ..." is enabled by default, steam window is tiny none the less. I will add an event to my calendar so I can come back, when this bug reaches ten years of age.
