I never had particular issues with Linux or Windows, but I have to say that I was surprised at how bad my MacBook looks when connected to an external 1080p monitor. I know Apple wants you to buy one of their fancy high resolution monitors or whatever, but it was so odd that one with a 1920x1080 resolution would look so bad. Even toggling the hi-dpi setting in BetterDisplay didn't help much.

Here's a quick picture from a few days ago: https://imgur.com/a/GLohlj1

I believe they don't even try to do hinting or sub-pixel rendering, where were key to Windows' crisp font rendering on low resolutions all the way back on Windows XP.

They don't indeed. Subpixel rendering was removed from macOS few years ago.
