I suppose this is a subjective area. I would rank Windows on top, Mac as a close second, and Linux ... well, I love Linux for reasons other than UI.

- type0 1y agoit's not subjective if you use OLED screen
- eddythompson80 1y agoI have an OLED desktop monitor and have the same preference order as OP
- exe34 1y agoYeah I don't understand this difference of opinion here - Linux looks fine to me, Mac looks pretty and Windows looks like it's been driven over a few times.

- adrian_b 1y agoWhile the font rendering method matters, the differences between operating systems are typically much smaller than the differences in quality between typefaces. Linux had a very bad appearance in the past with a default configuration, and it still does not look good in most distributions, but that is not due to bad rendering algorithms, but it is due to the fact that the default free typefaces are usually not very good. For several decades, the first thing that I have always done after installing Linux was to delete all default typefaces and replace them with some high-quality typefaces, most of which I have bought, with a couple taken from a Mac OS and a Windows that I had bought in the past (which I have stopped using many years ago, except for the few typefaces that I have kept from them). Because of this policy, any text on my Linux computers has always looked much better than on any of the Windows or Mac OS computers that I have used at work.
