@RustyCrab try searching cosmic DE or DPI pretty sure that's the issue. Their compositor and all is still in beta

Default fonts in this look just fine https://endeavouros.com/

@olmitch I don't know anything about this distro but it's not a condemnation of linux font rendering in general. On some distros it's fine and on some it's not.

@deprecated_ii windows font rendering looks exactly like all competent font rendering across linux distros and mac.

Also lmao

@RustyCrab they're probably talking about the recent DPI scaling stuff that makes old style windows... windows look like total shit

@deprecated_ii I'm not exactly sure why but on popOS the dark theme text is WAY worse than the light theme in terms of clarity. Again, fedora with gnome 45 does not have this issue.

@deprecated_ii idk bro not really digging this. This just feels like gnome hacked out to look like KDE

@RustyCrab try some subpixel hinting settings

RustyCrab, 5 months ago

@diazepam yeah I did that but it's still clearly inferior to how fedora workstation with gnome45 looks. I'm not sure if the difference is x11 vs Wayland or what

@RustyCrab I sometimes wonder if the linux desktop is intricately designed to fuck you over in some subtle but insidious way if you're not using a thinkpad or some equally generic hardware

RustyCrab, 5 months ago

@diazepam I think people who work on distros are just remarkably incompetent with UX and don't take proper feedback (in other words they are typical engineers)

@RustyCrab @diazepam KDE Devs are OK gnome ones on the other hand should all be hanged
