I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Fedora 37. I don't boot into Windows nearly as much as I do Fedora. But, when I do, I'm always struck by how much more I seem to be able to fit on my 3440x1440 display in Windows than I can in GNOME.
In GNOME, the font used is bigger, the window borders are thicker, buttons are bigger and there just seems to be more padding around everything. I don't understand why windows in GNOME have such a thick top bar. The Windows GUI in comparison is tighter and more compact (overall).
Much of that is adjustable. It used to be, and may still be, in Gnome. It definitely is with other desktops.
I use Mate, which looks more like the old Gnome, before they pretended a desktop was a tablet (which is when I abandoned Gnome), and it's configurable in it.
I wonder if you've accidentally used some form of screen scaling, or aren't running in your screen resolution.
