OLED font rendering, notice the borders

New OLED monitors don’t have either RGB nor RBG pixel settings. Right now, to
give you an example, LG OLED gaming monitors have RWBG settings. This botched
the way fonts are rendered on screen. See
https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner#issue-785450772 and
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595#issue-1672314603 to see how
people are trying to fix this in other platforms. 

And it seems it’s not only the font rendering, since images, vectors, and
desktop components are rendered this way, too. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Buy an LG OLED Gaming monitor
2. Cry

OBSERVED RESULT
Fonts are rendered uglier than in LCD monitors. Some color contrasts present
some unexpected colors (yellow/orange over grey/black)

EXPECTED RESULT
Rendering should be akin to LCD monitors

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 (yes, it happens there too)
Linux/KDE Plasma: latest in Arch
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version:
