With such a high screen resolution it is very hard to read the small fonts in console. Edit /etc/default/console-setup and set FONTSIZE=32x16 to get a better font size. Also you may want to try out FONTFACE="Terminus". Grub fonts are also very hard to read, set GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub as root to fix that. Reboot to see the changes.
Install the Gnome Extensions Manager
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager
