I am not sure if the bug is with intel drivers or with font rendering or
with xorg but I am facing eye strain on ubuntu(and other distributions
as well, and other desktop environments too) but not on windows.
Although I'm not sure, if I had to guess I would say bug is in intel
drivers. The issue exists when I switch to wayland as well. I have tried
tweaking hinting and aliasing settings of fonts using gnome-tweaks(or
equivalent in other DEs) but to no effect. Maybe something is wrong with
colors on linux so I copied my ICC profile from windows over to linux
and applied it but that didn't work either. I just want a fix for my
problem as it prevents me from using ubuntu.
