Everything is really small on high res monitor (Manjaro KDE)

I have a laptop with a 3072x1920 monitor, and everything is really small. I know you can change global scale in display settings, but that doesn't work for everything. Is there any way to make everything bigger without changing screen resolution?

(it's weird because GNOME worked just fine. Does it have a lower resolution by default or something?)

X or Wayland? Wayland works really well with scaling, on X I have been not so lucky.
- X11. I could try wayland though, I don't think it would be that big of a deal.
  
  Change the DPI in your .xresources
  
  Word of warning, you are also going to have to mess with a couple of other settings to get this right. This will actually make it worse for some applications.
