One of the many reasons I switched to Windows. Linux is just too much pain for the eyes: Blurry fonts, screen tearing, ugh.
Though the worst is when using macOS on a low-DPI monitor (macOS nowadays is optimized for Retina displays and produces really blurry fonts on Full HD monitors.)

Strangely I got given a windows laptop by my employer a few months ago and I couldn't stand the font rendering quality compared to my Fedora 35 setup. I think font rendering is fine on GTK-3 / QT5. I only upgraded to Fedora 36 beta on an highdpi. Judging from the issues on MacOS on smaller DPI I think the problem is universal and there is a fracture between the low and highDPI world. People using retina and 4/5K screens will probably be fine with GTK-4, issue is you can't force everyone to upgrade their gears, it is wrong from an environmental POV and a lot of laptops/monitors are still sold in FullHD or less resolution.
- cyber_kinetist 4y agoI should also note that if your Windows has weird fonts, there’s a tool you can use to calibrate it somewhere in the legacy Control Panel settings. You basically choose the best looking text out of several options multiple times and it auto-tunes the font rendering based on those choices. A full run of it usually solves the problem.
- prmoustache 4y agowell I did that and it still look shitty compared to my Fedora.
