[Solved] This feels like a stupid question: How to make "everything".. bigger?

[dobeshow]

update to everyone: I had to remove Fedora from my desktop, for storage space.
I am using my laptop now as a Linux device, the specs are in my signature.
So far I am really really enjoying using Mint more then fedora, I feel like mint is level one, and fedora is like level 2-3. at some point it will be easy to use, but for now It wasn't usable for me due to many issues I simply didn't have time to work through:

Simply put: how do I adjust the size of "everything" on Linux Mint. I can update the original post if needed.
Thanks and cheers!

Mint is nice. But if you really wanna learn, go to arch and memorize their wiki. It helped me a lot...

Are you using X11 of Wayland with Mint now and What is the size of your monitor/screen, can you share a link to what monitor you actually have?

Memorizing stuff isn't helpful, it's better to learn from experience.

It was meant sarcastic. Because that's what all the arch people say..
Edit: but i learned a lot from shooting myself in the foot before reading the arch wiki!

I am using X11 on Mint. and considering this is an HP Pavillion laptop its a built in display.

via Linux Mint System Info: https://www.linux.org/threads/the-detailed-information-of-my-system.43679/

I don't see how anything can look small on that laptop, it even has a a 1080p screen resolution, it's not like it's 4k which does make things look smaller.

@f33dm3bits is this too small or do I need glasses?

That looks pretty normal to me, this what it looks like on my 4k monitor.

And this is what it looks like on my 1440p monitor.

 

[CataclysmicGentleman]

That looks pretty normal to me,

Ah alright, thanks for the input I shall be customizing Linux Mint to my liking, but it is helpful to know this size is normal.

And this is what it looks like when I use 1080p resolution in a vm.

Does that help and put things into perspective?
