This is exactly the problem with Linux unfortunately. Look at the zebra patterns on this page: https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/rasterinfo/rasterinfo.html They are not bard-on-light or light-on-dark. They are zebras which need to be rendered evenly without moire or color fringes. Windows lately does very good job; Linux desktops suck though. Then people bend over backwards trying to compensate for that. Instead, gamma correction should be one of the text settings.
