I don't know why but Windows font rendering make me sick. I always feel headache after reading on windows. On linux I don't.

Someone has experience of that?

it's because windows font rendering is absolutely garbage.

>>55137992
This.

OP is a fucking faggot.
>>
>>55138405
Nope
Been a windows user all my life and ported to linux not long ago. It's better in linux.
>>
>>55138419
Same.
Windows fonts are cancerous to the eyes.

Just another perk of not having autism

>>55137969
Stop using 1366x768 widescreen resolutions.

I used 1280x1280 CRT or 4:3 aspect ratio LCD at least with high DPI and refresh rate.
>>
>>55138264
Linux doesn't work on my system. I can't cripple myself just to have better fonts, got shit to do.
>>
>>55138493
1366x768 isn't worse. Actually it make be slightly better on those displays.

Refresh rate won't save you either. The entire problem comes from Windows' terrible handling of font scaling so higher resolutions and DPI aren't going to save you either.

It's just all round shit.
>>
>>55138509
What do you use, then? Linux runs on virtually every architecture that has ever been developed in the history of modern computing, including everything from obscure phones to common desktops.

So I have good reason to believe you're either lying or woefully underinformed.

no, you're just autistic
