How to increase menu size in Ubuntu

[Straitsfan]

Hello. I was wondering if there's a way to increase the size of the text in the menu for an application, if this is in fact an OS thing.

Right now in my MuseScore Application the top menu -- Edit, File, etc -- are kind of small and I'd like to change that. Is there a way to do this? I've been looking in the settings in Ubuntu but I can't find anything.

you need to understand that in Linux there is no one graphical user interface.
There are 2 "skeleton" system, old one called X11 and new one called Wayland.
Any one of those two is a skeleton that needs meat, in form of Gnome/KDE/XFCE/UNITY/etc.
Those are called Windows Managers.

And then there is Unity(default window manager) on Ubuntu, which is atrocious GUI system that everyone loves to hate. Since it doesn't follow anyone's standards and is dead on arrival.

Ubuntu can run all of those windows manager AFAIK.
So you need to tell others what Window Manager you use before you ask question.

Asking your current question now - is like asking "i burned out engine in car, how can i fix it?". Natural question is - what car model?

Natural question to you, what Windows Manager are you using?

Mind you - i probably don't know answer, I am not into GUI enough. But lesson here is - you needed to know question, before asking it. I helped with that. Consider asking similar question in forum again, with more appropriate details.

Natural question to you, what Windows Manager are you using?

A natural response from you might be to offer the user a means of providing that.

For example, output of

inxi -Sxxx

and if inxi is not already installed

sudo apt install inxi

and then repeat the command.

I don't know what anyone's Linux experience is in this thread except for @wizardfromoz.

I suggest to go with a different Linux distro with a different user desktop environment.

Linux Lite
Linux Mint
MX Linux

These Linux distros will have a more familiar DE that new to Linux user's will be more familiar with using.

Learn some basic Linux how to and then if the need or urge strikes to change Linux distro than do so.

If the OP is still around and still has the problem, he could try

Settings - Accessibility - Seeing - Large Text

This will increase the text size by maybe 50% throughout the environment.
