I'm a writer who's switched to Ubuntu mainly because of its stunning fonts. I used to try other distros like Artix and Void, but no matter what fonts I installed or settings I altered, the text was always hard to read. Ubuntu's fonts, on the other hand, are crisp and beautiful, making my writing experience enjoyable. Is there a way to bring that Ubuntu font quality to the other distros I prefer, or am I stuck using Ubuntu forever?

You can definitely download the Ubuntu fonts directly! I'm not sure what they're called, but they should be easy to find online. Once you have them, you can install them on your preferred distro for that same crisp quality.
Honestly, I think many Linux distros struggle with font selection and rendering. I've found that macOS is the only system where fonts truly appeal to me.
That's interesting because most of the time, Adobe handles font definitions. All systems should be relatively similar in that way. Maybe it's not just the fonts you're after, but you actually prefer the aesthetic of Apple!
Most Linux systems have similar fonts available; you just need to know how to install them. For instance, my Fedora has about 1589 fonts packaged up for easy installation, which gives plenty of options when I need something specific!
Here's a link to the packages: [https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=fonts-ubuntu](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=fonts-ubuntu). That should help!
