I have a window of 600×400, the viewport on which OpenGL is rendering appears to be much smaller (pictured below).

Picture of the viewport I’m expecting and the viewport I’m getting, note most of the square is clipped out.

The below code is able to reproduce what I am seeing. This code is also almost the exact same as the sprite renderer shown by learnopengl.com in their In Practice section.

I am using GLFW for window management and glad as my library for OpenGL. This was done on a Linux (KDE Neon) system using wayland.

I believe this is likely a problem with one of my matrices, be it the projection or model. I am however unsure of what the problem is or how to fix it.
