Gaming on Wayland
I always find such statements very confusing. It's like hearing someone if TVs still have that problem with needing to adjust the rabbit ears constantly while 90% of people have plugged theirs into a cable or satellite receiver. Font rendering worked fine in 2003. There is under skin certainly a lot of potentially interesting complexity around font rendering but you needn't much care about the details.
Some distributions look like Ubuntu look pretty good out of the box others look like garbage out of the box. Fedora used to be notoriously ugly out of the box in part because it was wary of implementing patent encumbered techniques. It's probably improved since. Notably firefox when rendering websites with some common on windows fonts in systems without many fonts installed may make some interesting and crappy choices insofar as substitution. If you install common MS fonts or tell firefox that websites aren't allowed to do their own thing you can avoid firefox raining on your font rendering parade.
If you want good looking fonts and don't like how it looks out of the box you mostly want to google good looking fonts in "foo" where foo is your distribution even though most advice is universal between distributions then consider installing some decent fonts.
For example in void linux following this gets good results.

No wizardry involved just rote direction following.
For void the google-fronts-ttf provides an absolute ton of fonts in ubuntu ttf-mscorefonts-installer provides some common ms oriented fonts. Nerd fonts provides a lot of interesting fonts. https://www.nerdfonts.com/ which you can install manually or via a distro package if there is one for you. They provide many fonts patched with lots of additional symbols.
I also happen to think San Francisco from Apple looks nice. If you use the font patcher from nerd fonts you can have Apple font's on your Linux Desktop.
ET-Book is interesting

This Emacser made a font out of her handwriting with instructions on how it was done so you too can type like you write for good or ill.

Personally I prefer the font rendering on Linux to Windows and have for many years.

Free Garamond alternatives with fixed italic 'h' ?
This is really late, but I've got one. ET Book is a based on Bembo, which has a more modern italic h. It says it's a webfont, but the Github download link includes ttf files, although it would be easy to convert a webfont anyway.
