This is a fantastic post, I just bought a 28", 158 dpi monitor recently and spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to maximize the font quality.

Since there weren't any suggestions for linux, this is what I did for Ubuntu 20:

    * 2x scaling
    * Downloaded libfreetype, enabled subpixel rendering option, replaced existing libfreetype.so
      (I think Ubuntu 20 might already have this enabled, but just to be safe I did it manually)
    * Turned off all hinting options in font configuration
    * Turn on lcddefault filtering
      (necessary if you have subpixel rendering enabled)
    * Specifically set 158 dpi in Alacritty terminal config
      (Not entirely sure that's necessary?)
