they look hollow like less bold on sites like invidious they look wonky almost like comic sans and in the tabs they look blurry and off colored

Some people report that turning on stem darkening makes the experience better.

It sounds like a few Arch users have abandoned ship after the highly unstable Plasma 6 came out, and found that Debian still is on Plasma 5.

It's funny how people think they want a rolling release. bleeding edge OS, until they don't.

Bleeding edge still has a minimum expectation of reliability. Otherwise Arch wouldn't have beta channels

i turned off anti aliasing and the fonts went SUPER BLURRY and now the scailing on brave after i refreshed is tiny

Turning off anti-aliasing altogether is probably not a good idea. Apparently some people get a fix by forcing a certain DPI. I believe the default is typically 96.

im trying to run the font fix stallman avatar suggested but i don't know how to get into etc/enviroment how do i do that?

Link the post please

At that point why not just install another DE you tards, pacman -S xfce4 is right there!

Because I'm still trying to set up a pure window manager rice and in the meantime I've grown too attached to Dolphin with Konsole as my file manager with terminal pane.

You can use KDE applications in Xfce with what I'm guessing is fairly negligible additional overhead

True, but if I'm going to rip out and replace an entire DE I figured I might as well start from a clean slate. And then I figured I kinda don't want an entire DE any more.

Which "pure window manager", as you put it, are you setting up? A tiling WM or

dwm, with preferably terminal-based applications such as nnn as my file manager.

I have a tmux tab (and if you don't already use tmux, highly recommended) which is supposedly dedicated to using nnn but in practice I never use it. If I didn't have Thunar or some other graphical file manager that can use SFTP and absolutely had to certain things remotely completely headless I probably would.

What does KDE do better than Xfce besides rice?

Fractional scaling. XFCE can only scale windows by whole numbers. KDE can do increments of 6.25%. Running high DPI screens makes this necessary. I used to love XFCE, but it's unusable for my setup. If I drop to a single 4k large monitor I may give it a try again.
