Is it just me or fonts really look better on GNOME and other (gtk DEs)? With the same font smoothing/anti-aliasing settings, text in GNOME is smoother and more similar to MacOS fonts.

A good example is Cantrell font. It looks way better in GNOME than in KDE.

I tend to think it’s a difference between GTK and Qt – anecdotal, but I get (what I see as) better rendering in LXDE, XFCE, and Gnome and a more heavier hand in LXQT and KDE – I haven’t done any decent comparisons comparing Qt apps inside Gnome or GTK apps inside KDE to give any sort of baseline though …

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
