Really wish I could do the switch to any Linux distro but the font rendering is just terrible on my eyes. I find it can frustrate some people like me more than others.

I was having similar issues on Ubuntu with either Unity or Gnome (can't remember which). The high DPI resolution of the laptop screen made everything look really small and everything I tried to do to scale up the size of things just didn't work well. Things didn't scale evenly, sometimes the text would be bigger but not the ui controls. On MacOS I've found the display scaling to just work as expected

Which distribution have you used? Fedora 33 seems pretty decent in my 4k monitor.

I've used Manjaro and Pop_OS, no luck however. Something just hurts my eyes and I can't put my finger on it. The browsers are especially awful which is what I spend 90% of my time in. See https://pandasauce.org/post/linux-fonts/ post which I found to confirm my issues.
