People always say Linux's font rendering is so much better than Windows's, but it just looks blurry to me. What gives?

Pretty bad example in your screenshot. Look into Ubuntu's font rendering instead. The default freetype config is pretty awful.
Ian Ross
dope
Liam White
the anti-aliasing setting also don't matter. it's blurry af.
Jason Green
that's why everybody uses bitmap fonts and terminals programs for everything
Jack Rodriguez
Been reading books on both since the early 2000. and GNU/Linux font rendering is far beyond superior.

why is your code styling so fucking bad holy fuck
Thomas Myers
Thats messy as fuck man.

Because they're a "programmer" on Jow Forums. There is nothing objectively good about anything we do.

Ubuntu Unity font rendering is better than Windows, that was my experience 2 years ago.
I don't know how Ubuntu with garbage GNOME currently is, since I am back with Windows. I miss Ubuntu font rendering.
Andrew Robinson
well you have subpixel smoothing off and no hinting. gee.
Angel Jones
Huh? It's standard LLVM code style
Evan Taylor
Because it doesn't smash the outlines to the grid as much as Windows does.
OSX doesn't do hinting but applies stem darkening so it looks good in grayscale mode.

Windows font rendering >>> * (if properly tuned)
I don't think it's even possible to replicate, really.

Linux is a kernel, it does not render fonts.

Microsoft has a patent on their subpixel something or other, can't remember exactly. It's far superior to Linux's antialiasing and blah blah whatever in my experience.
Tyler Taylor
Getting real sick of your shit, you know what he means.

People like blurry fonts, it looks "smoother" to them.
It's why they hate Windows rendering, even though some smoothing is applied, it still maintains some edge so shit doesn't look like you dabbed your eyes with vaseline.
Ethan Bell
what's the current good fontpackage? infinality wants to uninstall half my system to upgrade for some reason.
Christopher Cook
and who exactly are these "people"?
Aaron Martinez
I like linux, but windows font rendering blows it out of the water.
Dominic Barnes
my eyes
Jordan King
I'm pretty sure the fonts on windows are simply better made too (along with mac and android mainstay fonts) a lot of effort has gone into their development to render perfectly at different sizes.
Isaac Cox
Quit it with your chink shit. Go back to wallpaper general.
Jacob Bailey
Ligatures are gross.
Christopher Morgan
dont insult my dick it might be micro but its not soft
Carson Howard
That shit looks bad, color scheme, font, code style and all.
Ethan Russell
>color scheme
standard github
>font
Fira Code, pretty nice actually
>code style
Standard LLVM
Christopher Adams
>color scheme
Staring at a light color scheme on a monitor for long periods of time is bad for your eyes.
>font
font is shit
>code style
lines 12 and 13 have nested curly bracket on the same level, that is shit in my book and should be shit in yours too.

Have you ever used C++? That's a standard practice for namespaces
Sebastian Sanders
Have (You)?
You're talking outta your ass, go check your compiler's include headers to see actual `standard practice for namespaces'.
