Text rendering used to be a mess on Linux in general, even on the same browser and website. It's gotten better lately and focal looks pretty good out of the box. Gripes: Even on Ubuntu 20.04 I find that display resolutions jump around after initial setting which is very bizarre. I started testing in a VMware workstation vm and it never respects the resolution I set - always reverts back to 800x600 after a restart. Also on a bare metal 20.04 install with two gtx1080 and two screens it was a real mess getting even the welcome screen to display on the right monitor. Admittedly there's a lot of display connectors on that system but windows gets it right off the bat even with inbox drivers. Setting up remote desktop access using built-in screen sharing feature is not possible using the default install without having access to the ui... This makes it hard/impossible to do a remote install and get desktop without kvm/ipmi. Last gripe is if you want to use X/gdm instead of whatever Ubuntu has for x window compatability reasons, its a pretty big rabbit hole and stuff doesn't work well (login to a blank screen, hacking configs, UI breaks), understanding this is an unsupported setup, it's still an issues I ran into when trying to use window capture feature on ffmpeg for example.
