I've just installed the latest Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa (Cinnamon Edition) and noticed that font rendering and overall image sharpness is way better than any other distribution I have tested so far, especially the font rendering which I find very important due to reduced eye-strain levels on prolonged use.
Now I am not an expert so I don't know exactly why Linux Mint 20.1 looks a lot sharper than other distros. Could this be solely because of font libraries or are there other variables in play such as the window manager, compositor, graphics driver, etc?
Here is the output of inxi:
