I have been a Gnome user, and I really like simplicity, but it is becoming too simple

The Main Reason

I am using a 32" 4K monitor, and I don't have a plan to give it up because I like the screen setup and its real estate. Recently, I made my Linux system a primary and daily driver, so it deserves to be used by my monitor.

Unfortunately, Gnome has had issues with high-resolution monitors for ages, and it is still the same.

Texts are so small, and there are not so many options for scaling:

It is 100–200–300–400%. 100% is small, 200% too big for me. Do we have an option in between? No!

Either we need to use Gnome Tweaks and change the scaling factor (which scales the text only) or have binoculars to see the menus.
