>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)

you could still upgrade your font rendering.
use something like this in your fonts.conf or customize it.

uninstall it and use this, you clearly fucked up on installing infinality.

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

Okay, I eselect disabled user.conf. Hopefully it uses noto now

You guys know how awful w10 font rendering is, no need to post a screenshot.

I just cannot switch and honestly dual booting seems like a waste of time given the fact I'd have to use Windows pretty frequently anyways. I hate reading on windows. I hate it. Have to zoom every fucking thing in.
