Hi everyone! I'm having a frustrating issue with my new dual boot setup. I installed EndeavourOS alongside Windows 10, but no matter what I do, the display on EndeavourOS looks blurry compared to Win10. Even when I set the zoom to both 100% and 125%, everything is still not as crisp as I see on Windows. I've tried a few things like adjusting font settings following the Arch Wiki, changing FreeType to version 38, and installing Microsoft fonts, but nothing seems to help. I've also lowered the zoom back to 100% with no luck. I've included screenshots to show the difference. Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks!

It’s kind of known that some Linux distros, including EndeavourOS, can lean towards a blurry display compared to Windows. Just try playing around with the display settings to see if anything improves. Good luck!
Have you checked your display scaling settings? Sometimes adjusting those can make a huge difference in clarity. Also, if your monitor and GPU support it, try setting the refresh rate to the optimal option as that can affect clarity too. Good luck!
You mentioned you're using KDE Plasma, right? It might be worth switching from x11 to Wayland if you haven’t already, especially with fractional scaling. It tends to handle scaling a lot better than x11!
Any specific settings you recommend looking into?
