Just wanted to share something. I recently started using PureOS which uses the GNOME desktop and one issue I was having was with all the text being too small.

By default GNOME allows scaling of choosing if you want things to be too small (100%) or too large (200%).

This command that enables fractional scaling. Run it and reboot.
Bash:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

I found this in an issue posted on the settings repository where someone was asking why this hasn't been released yet. (tl;dr; it hasn't been released because some apps are blurry with fractional scaling).
