export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 no longer works

I'm trying to get the scaling right on my 4k monitors, but icons look wonky, and the whole thing doesn't look right. I used to just throw export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in /etc/environment or ~/profile, log out and log back in, and I'm good, but now this doesn't do anything. I can't be on wayland 100% since not everything works still. Any idea why this is?

If you are using systemd to start plasmashell, you can add Environment="PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1" to plasma-plasmashell.service
- I am using systemd. I'll try that and report back. Thank you so much
- Where do I find plasma-plasmashell.service?
  
  Usually in /usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service, but you can edit with systemctl --user edit plasma-plasmashell.service directly.
