Nitpicking, but why is font rendering still broken on modern Linux? In the screenshot, there are clearly issues with letter-spacing in the words "Salir" and "Eq

  I see it too. I daily drive KDE with the Inter font set globally and everything looks great for me. It will depend on certain UI widgets and the fonts you choose. Some of the open source stuff is not perfect because it was created by someone merely scratching an itch for fun and not a professional designer.

    Thanks I'll try that font set. KDE has been overly converting stuff to ligatures in the last update 5.27.8 I think. So "fi" now becomes a character with the two letters together and it's really annoying.

    Its amazing how so many of us have converged on KDE. It feels like a real google-like moment where all the tech people I knew started using google for a year or two before everyone else caught on. If I could buy stock in KDE Id have 1/2 my net worth in it, KDE to the moon :)

      I don't have that impression. But maybe I'm just in my Sway-bubble :)

      For me Cinnamon just works. Used KDE for some time but I the resource usage was too high.

  To be fair, those screenshots are three years old so there may have been rendering improvements since then. Quality can often depend on the selected font as well. A comment in another post from yesterday stated that Noto Sans is currently used by default in KDE and while it might have some issues, the breadth of the font solves other problems.

  The most obvious answer is that it isn't broken on developers systems or indeed on most systems.
