One thing I dodn't understand is why isn't the Synaptic Package Manager installed by default anymore.
Hi, I think the Synaptic Package Manager is installed by default. When I open the 'Start menu' and type Synaptic, it's listed, and I didn't install it.

I clicked through the 'Start menu' and it's under Settings.

(Sorry, I don't know what it's called in MX Linux. In Windows it's called the Start menu. I get to it by pressing the Windows key on my keyboard.)

I switched to Sparky Linux and there it worked without problem. I didn't cleaned up my home folder before installation, but Sparky Linux wrote some new files and ignored/overwrote some of my settings.
After switching back to MX Linux everything worked without problem. I deleted some files in my home folder. Then my system froze because of Timeshift. I needed to reboot my system with REISUB. After that I needed to restore my session in a Flatpak software that was open at the forced reboot. After that the text is coarse again.
To make things even weirder only specific Flapak applications are affected (Cudatext, Librewolf) while others aren't affected.
My best bet is that some Flatpak runtime is causing this.

To summarize this: Flatpak is screwed. I'm gonna change the affected Flatpaks to native ones with deb-get.
Thank you for your answers.
