Research direction
Investigate the Linux specific implementation in 'lib/linux.js' or similar. Check if the scale option is being passed correctly to the command that sets the wallpaper (like gsettings or feh). Compare with the macOS implementation to understand expected behavior. Look at the issue comments for any additional context.
