I don't get it. I try this slop out but it's always so blurry compared to Windows. How did you morons psyop your entire community in not noticing this? Or is this shitty OS only used by blind old dudes?
Why is linux so blurry?

linux is a kernel
akschually it's GNU+Linux, you see GNU stands for Gay Black folk United and + stands for them being united with my Linux butthole
Everything on the screen, it seems like every text of every program just looks worse, as in it's blurry, thin, and grainy -- compared to Windows 10/11 with default settings. I ran both GNOME, KDE, and XFCE with latest updates on all the big distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse, and Arch. It seems like it's just every single distro having fricked rendering. It's making me worry that it's not just text being fricked but the entire screen being fricked, that's the only explanation for everything looking worse in every app.
>I never used Linux
We can tell.
What's blurry exactly? post more info
> blurry
FRICK, Linux as clear as a sun, just heading back to windows, Linux isn't for all people
Anon can't into drivers and can't into screen resolution.
Linux pre-installs AMD drivers, what is there to install? My screen resolution is automatically set to my native resolution, I checked in all of the DE settings/menus. I experimented with scaling and with different Hz or Res and with restarting, and with gnome tweaks or kde font tinkering, but it always looks worse compared to windows. I just don't get it. How do none of you see this?
You sure it's not the fonts?
I don't think it's fonts missing or being bad or anything of the sort, because I'd always download google chrome and ms edge just to be sure I have the fonts so sites or chromium apps wouldnt look like shit. But Steam for example always looks like garbage no matter what I do, and some web sites just have incredibly awful fonts that literally make reading painful unless I set the browser's scaling to like 150
switch your compositor from wayland to x11
for example this is how this site looks on my fresh w10 install, you can try it out on linux. when i would visit it on linux it would be unreadable and hurt my eyes
you have brave installed that is not fresh
and the same issues are prevalent in chromium apps like discord or steam that look like absolute slop, the text is so thin and lacks any of the nice bolding that steam has on windows to make it pop and look clean. I feel like linux does some weird upscaling or downscaling shit maybe, because when you look at my photos when they are not open in fullscreen all over your monitor screen then they look blurry as frick and thats how linux looks all the time
>complains about blurry graphics on linux
>only posts pictures of windows
you are literally on linux, you can compare it yourself moron, im not dualbooting i only have one ssd i can wipe at any time
i'm on windows you tard, i use a computer not a server
Your screenshot has sharper, bolder fonts but I wouldn't say the difference is massive and unreadable
Not 100% exact same fonts as some sites use microsoft fonts
thats what i mean, does that not look bad to you? maybe from your screen it looks nice somehow but when i open your photo in full screen it looks so fricking bad, are you on a smaller monitor like 21 inches?
Nope, both Windows and Linux screenshots are readable to me despite the (small) differences in weight/subpixel rendering, here's another screenshot but this time I've installed MS fonts
What happens if you open your own Windows screenshots in Linux?
They should look 100% identical so if they're not something weird is going on.
i dont have linux installed and i spent a few hours tinkering through windows ltsc debloating so im not reinstalling it again until i get an external ssd soon. but i didnt really compare screenshots, i would just compare how the sites look on them both. and those three i mentioned: ovagames.com, iopwiki.com and some fonts in old.reddit.com, combined with a lot of the chromium electron shit like Steam/Discord would have noticeably different and imo much worse fonts that would look grainy and thin which i imagine made them look blurry on my lower dpi 1080p screen
His screenshot is more readable. It's had to notice the difference between bold and normal on yours-
For me is easier to read than
Tested on both a normal IPS screen (4K 32inch) and an OLED TV (4K 65 inch with rgbw pixels that frick up sub-pixel rendering)
Yeah I guess it's just the case of it looking bad from close on a lower dpi screen. Is there no way of replicating the way windows renders shit in linux? Can't that be done? I'm not gonna be upgrading my monitor any time soon, I'm happy with this one at least on windows
>Is there no way of replicating the way windows renders shit in linux?
There technically is, but the Freetype devs refuse because Microsoft has patents on all of their font rendering shit.
pretty much this
Microsoft patented their true type font thing which is why Apple have their Retina display with a huge resolution to render text beautifully.
On Linux well, you have neither but in their defense, macOS also looks like shit on 1080p.
So how do linux trannies cope?
GNOME/Wayland looks pretty on my 4k monitor
By not being poor and running 1360x768?
Windows font rendering was made to compensate for shitty display technology of the 90s like CRTs and early fuzzy LCDs with low resolutions
On modern monitors it looks overly sharp and harsh to my eyes. Like when you turn the sharpness on your TV up to 100 and everything looks fricking weird
Linux font rendering is like Mac font rendering and is more neutral and preserves the aesthetics of the font rather than sacrificing everything for boomers failing eyesight. No overly sharpened harsh looking cleartype bullshit
Also werks on my machine
1920x1080 is the most popular resolution in the world and linux looks like shit on it, you homosexuals are delusional and coping with your fricked screens. windows looks better on everything, linux is just more bearable on high dpi screens
Linux requires autism to use.
>1920x1080 is the most popular resolution in the world and linux looks like shit on it
get your eyes checked man
I have a 32" 4k and a 27" 1080p side by side and even if the 27" looks objectively less sharp, it's absolutely fine to use for mostly everything
>it's absolutely fine to use for mostly everything
that cope at the end kek
the only things I use the 4k monitor for is gaymes and watching videos
everything else goes to the 1080p
all that cope
b***h I use a 55 inch tv and sit like 7 feet away and it's so sharp on loonix it literally cuts my fricking eyes.
Linux just looks objectively shit on 1080p, you are coping out of your mind. And literally zero sites support it, and zero apps support it, so it has fricked font rendering in everything. Freetards can't into aesthetics
whatever you say, works on my machine
>Xfce
Yeah that's all I need to see to disregard any opinion you might have on visuals
deal with it
Why not move over to KDE Plasma at least? What's the use case for ex feces?
use case is being used to it and liking it
also it's more customizable and stable than KrashDE (and it doesn't use gayland either)
>that tear
kek
nothing like a smooth linux animation ngghhh reminds me of their desktop environments
site i download vidya from, looks like unreadable shit on linux, both on firefox and brave
for example the small text on the old.reddit looks like unreadable garbage on linux (and yes i tried x11/wayland on distros that had them available, x11 performs like shit on kde 6 btw its buggy as frick)
also open the pics in full screen, dont zoom in that doesnt reflect reality
here's an eceleb talking about the same problem and him finding linux screens to look like shit as well
?t=470
i say this because i actually want to use linux but i literally cant because it looks so fricking bad. why can no one notice this shit exists
It works on my machine ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ubuntu, Mint and Arch (with fontconfig-ubuntu) have some of the best low DPI font rendering.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/font_configuration
subpixel rendering maybe? I still think this is a font rendering issue. Had it on 1080p, went away on 1440p (or it's not as noticeable anymore).
i was running gnome with gnometweaks and tried out the rgb/none full/semi/light/none hinting etc and it just looks blurry compared to windows always. do you guys seriously not have any issues with the sites i showed? the text looks good?
skill issue. looks normal on my machine
font name? terminus?
>terminus?
yes
how did you set it in the browser?
I just changed the CSS for IQfy in IQfyX
for other sites you can do the same with the Stylish extension
it doesn't work. seems like firefox doesn't support bitmap
need to use otb
you zoomed in, all text looks good zoomed in, not the point.
i tried all of those out, didnt run ubuntu fonts on arch but i did try some manjaro font tweaks like this https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Improve_Font_Rendering
it just looks noticeably worse compared to windows and it irks me to no end
>you zoomed in
no, I didn't. I'm at 100% zoom like my url bar shows
hasn't infinality been dead for like a decade now?
no idea, i was just trying random shit i could find on google after searching "how to improve font rendering in linux" and this is one of the results. but anything id change in conf wouldnt really make a difference in the end that gave me noticeably better looking font rendering. i also tried getting the original ms and google fonts but i have no idea if that even worked or applied correctly because steam rendering didnt change at all, yet it would change slightly if i was running fedora for example without google-chrome stable installed on it vs with it installed
its a bitmap font moron

Hinting.
Font rendering is always a trade-off between aligning letters to the nearest pixel (hinting) or rendering them in their technically correct position even if it's in-between two pixels.
The default Windows font renderer uses strong hinting to reduce blur at the expense of position accuracy.
This is noticeable when you type "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" and you see a repeating pattern instead of a smooth continuous sequence.
OSX and Linux font renderers tend to have no hinting at all.
Apple is very proud of this because it matches printed media better so it's "more professional" but yeah it makes text more blurry.
im thinking this is probably the thing, windows font looks like shit when you zoom in because its so "incorrect" but it looks really good on my 24" 1080p 120hz gaymer screen, while linux is technically probably more correct but because im not on a hidpi screen it looks awful from a short distance
>windows font looks better in the real world while linux fonts look like ass and only good in an edge case
should have said that but I fixed it for you
What makes you think sharpness is a metric?
frick off ebussy
Bros, why is Europe so blurry?
you are getting raped by a muslim immigrant so your phone is shaking while you are taking the picture baguette anon
thats fricking aids, total ms death
Touché.
>compared to Windows
Seems like you never used either
weird, every time I use windows everything is blurry to me, even the windows themselves get blurry at times. Linux and MacOS are both very sharp in comparison.
i get what you mean bro, carbonyl is a real pain, but I NEVER leave my terminal
Also check you have RGB subpixel rendering on because most linux distros or DEs are autistic and assume you want none or grayscale only since Linux is full of people that throw their toys out the pram if you assume anything
>custom fonts
fingerprintable as frick. use default
Yes they'll never catch you being the only Manjaro KDE user with a triple monitor setup (1x 2560x1440 and 2x 1920x1080 1 of them vertical for reading manga) in your state because you used the default fontset
I'm using arch + gnome in a 4k screen and everything is crystal clear. Wtf are you on about?
I suspect this is a serious case of skill issue.
