Lying fucks. The font rendering on Windows is so much nicer. It's so crisp I cannot believe I've been using Linux for the past 3 months. And yes, I had my font hinting setup correctly, you stupid faggots. Never ever listening to Jow Forums ever again. From now on, if there is a suggestion on Jow Forums, do the opposite.

Why would a kernel have good font rendering?
Use Windows 10.
These dudes try so hard to stand out. Linux is for pseudo intelligent, socially retarded neets.

you heard him boys
heed every suggestion Jow Forums throws at you
Fucking ubuntu, I'm sure. I had that problem too before switching to debian.

Yes this is usually the case.

The problem with ClearType is you have to calibrate it to your particular screen.
And 99% on Jow Forums is too brainlet to do any setup/configuration whatsoever, so they just bash it for not looking good out of the box which is easier than following instructions.
for a place that's not good with insatructions, they sure do have a lot of threads with instructions
>they sure do have a lot of threads with instructions
Half of them are to kys, but sadly they are barely ever successfully followed.
>The machine I pay for and the software I use should not work for me
Nice one, next you'll tell me I should take my car to the dealership instead of doing the maintenence on my own.
Who really cares that much about font rendering
gay readers
Geophysics. Most people go into seismic prospection. The entire computer lab isn't just running on Debian, it is absolutely 100% FOSS. I've asked, the people who graduated and got jobs at Chevron, Schlumberger, etc. all still use Linux.
GUN+Linux has the best font rendering.
>The font rendering on Windows is so much nicer.
you're either a troll or blind
macOS has best font rendering, then Ubuntu, then customized Linux, then adefault install of a normal distro, then Windows.
What's with all these spergs ITT who LOVE their fonts to look fat and blurry? Are all of you using thinkpad laptops from 2002?
> has to zoom font because it looks good only on 14+
the delusion
>he genuinely fucking believes this
The font rendering isn't even the same between apps. I had to change settings to not have blurry text because it scales random shit up if your resolution is 1080p and your screen isn't huge.
It does that automatically now if you kept windows updated :)
Font-rendering on Linux when properly configured looks great, in my opinion, but aside from that it's infinitely superior to Windows mostly because of fontconfig, which is extremely flexible with user defined per-font settings and aliases.
What tweaks did you do on Windows 10 to fix the font rendering? By default mine looks like ass compared to my Debian laptop. Also nice get.
>What tweaks did you do on Windows 10 to fix the font rendering?
you can't really do many tweaks to it other than some minimal tweaking of cleartype.
Shit that never happened for $500. How many poo bucks do they pay you to say this?
actually a good post.
I pray for your soul if you ever use macos
fuck off and die, frogposter
good goy
>user defined per-font settings
>per-font
I don't have time for all that. Apple proved it can Just Work so get outta here with your excuses. If you can't afford some old 200 DPI monitor then font settings are the least of your problems.
