One additional note that seemed important in case anyone reads this: I just tested GIMP's font rendering on macOS and it's completely different than on Linux. There's no "colorful" sub pixel rendering, and the results seem blurrier to me at the same font size, although the latter might be because this is on a high DPI screen with scaling. So consider the above to only apply to the Linux version of GIMP.
