>Is it worth it for me to get infinality on debian?
Not really, just configure fontconfig. It's not that hard. I enabled sub-pixel rendering (RGB), slight hinting and lcdfilter (this on Gentoo, Debian should be the same).

Also install some good fonts. I use Liberation and Noto (big font package including Asian languages etc)

eselect is a Gentoo specific tool. user.conf can also mess up things, and DEs can override things too.

There is a way to specify what fonts you want to use. Check out Arch's wiki pages for fonts/fontconfig.
