No problem with scaling (just set it from the display menu), but I gave up trying to get it to work consistently with a second monitor at a different scale. In the end it was much easier just to turn the laptop screen off when using a second monitor.

Battery life with Linux isn't great and there were flicker problems, especially with Chrome. Updating the kernel and setting various Chrome flags helped considerably.

EDIT: I should mention I'm using Unity on Ubuntu 16.04
