That is sad news. I have a Linux Desktop that emits not so sharp text on my 1440p monitor. I always attributed to that bad text rendering to the low DPI monitor. I was hoping that one day I could buy a hidpi monitor that would make my Linux desktop as friendly to my eyes as my MacBook Pro. Looks like not anytime soon :-(

I meant that (imo) Windows's 'ClearType' hinting is sharp and easy to read at lower DPI-- Linux font rendering can be configured as 'hintslight' for MacOS-style blurry-but-preserving-font-shape, or 'hintfull' for MSWin-style aggressively-snap-to-grid-for-sharpness-and-legibility.

There is ofcourse more that can be misconfigured, but if you've got blurry fonts on Linux, there's a good chance changing the hintstyle to hintfull could tighten things up.
