I have always been happy with font rendering in GNOME3 under both Wayland and X (I don't think there is any difference). It is maybe not quite as good as MacOS, but it doesn't also have that artificial heaviness that plagued OSX/MacOS for many releases and only seems to have really gone away on Retina screens). It is light years ahead of Windows, which is always bad in confusing ways.
If you have Intel or AMD graphics I think you will be happy with Wayland and Linux.
Nvidia had a politics problem for a long time that is being resolved but the resolution is still on the cutting edge so I would wait a while. XWindows is generally fine.
Dual-GPU laptops with an integrated as well as a discrete GPU seem to still be buggy. Best bet is probably to not use the discrete GPU or plan for the occasional driver update kerfluffle. AMD again is better here.
