Dear All,
I forgot to give my screenshot, the windows font and ui size in my opinion is better than ubuntu as you may look in the attached.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

i think we're running the danger of getting lost in a bikeshed-like discussion here..
as mpt pointed out already, the problem with scaling is rather that not all UI elements will scale along.
Trying out GNOME Shell again yesterday i noticed that i could work easily from double the distance i usually have to my monitor.
The only interface elements that didn't scale up along with the text and the indicator-icons were the ON|OFF toggles in e.g. Network Manager's indicator menu.
More than a bikeshed would be to set up the DE in a scalable way, scalable meaning visual scaling, so that you can have larger font, buttons, previews and controls in general, in order to recognize everything easily even at a high resolution and at greater distance from the monitor. This has both health advantages and would be very forthcoming for a11y folks.
