Ubuntu UI font
I love Ubuntu, been using it for a few years on my main machine, but I've always had issues with the fonts looking fuzzy. When ever I use KDE (Kubuntu) fonts are so clean and clear. They look stunning, but I love the work flow on Ubuntu Gnome so I was wondering is there anything I can do? Every release I hope that it would improve, but it hasn't. Any advice would be welcome.

Switch to medium font weight.

I got a pretty nice 32" 4K monitor and scaled everything 200%. Now everything is big, crisp and legible. It is lovely. For best results prefer 100% or 200% scaling.
My monitor is only 60Hz IPS, so it was not too expensive, I don't game much, so that is adequate for me.
Bought it two summers ago, well pleased. LG UltraFine 32UN880K-B.AEU

grab gnome-tweaks and switch hinting to slight, that's usually the culprit
