Arch is like making your own furniture vs buying ready made. It's not meant to be easy and you have to know what you are doing or are willing to spend hours learning and experimenting. If you want easy go Ubuntu or some popular distro. If you want source code level control, LFS.

It is like owning a car.

With other distros, you send it to the mechanic for an oil change.

With Arch, you need to block out a weekend for you to change the oil yourself.

I came back to windows due to how fucked up and unfixable the font rendering was in Linux... On windows my scaling is 150% and that's ngam² sharp like tab size font size all sharp

When Linux, tried all custom shits and experimental la this la that la install old font package la...scaling is horrendous, a beautiful pc with a horrendous UI and so I switched back to windows. Its peaceful now

Yes. Fonts are superior on Windows. There is even a wizard to help you optimize the font appearance.

On Linux probably not as good, but you can get close. I followed this many years back. TLDR, font hinting and antialiasing. https://www.oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10576

But nowadays, the fonts are pretty decent out of the box. Try to lower down the hinting if your fonts start to look blurry.
