If anyone is still struggling with display resolution (tiny font) on Linux, here is what i did on my Linux Mint 19 (i switched to Mint).
Open
control center
, click onAppearance
, go toFonts
tab, make sureSubpixel smoothing (LCDs)
is selected and click on theDetails
button.Under
Resolution
, turn offAutomatic Detection
, then change theDots per inch (DPI)
value to 120 (works pretty well in my case, fine tune the value according to your need).Screenshots:
