text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?

I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn't improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)

The font is the default one which is Ubuntu Regular with font size set to 10

Sub pixel order is set properly to RGB Linux Mint xfce

Even when running windows in a virtual machine, the font rendering in it is miles ahead of what I got on my Linux setup!!!

  • The replies here are good. Different rendering engines. Also, try another font. Like Roboto, or Inter, by Google.

    • Inter is great, I've been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I'm on Debian and KDE Plasma

      It's not made by Google though, it's this guy, Rasmus Andersson

  • Infinality used to fix that aspect but the project died. Did you try deepin Linux distro? If I remember correctly it could handle fonts better than all other distros
