When distro maintainers ship with poor font configurations, the world have to suffer with blurry fonts (specially on dark backgrounds)..

Everyone should pick the freetype2 patches from ChromeOS, it makes a huge difference

It's because of low resolution screens. The secret to have silky smooth fonts on modern distros (i.e. Fedora) is to run at 2x scaling and turn off hinting. The various freetype2 patches have been integrated in modern toolkits (and GTK doesn't use freetype2 anymore)

There is a way to improve font sharpness with current freetype2 by setting variable:

  FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35

Unfortunately, default behavior for freetype2 is blurry.

I am sure this is the way to convince people to adopt lInUx.

No one really cares what you use tbh.
