From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For terminal/editor I went through CodingFont and ended up on Noto Sans Mono. Before that I used Source Code Pro for years. Both patched for nerd fonts, obviously.

U001 is my main system font as a clone of Univers. Monospace is Berkeley Mono—it might be paid/proprietary but boy does it look nice & was an upgrade from several years with Iosevka. JuliaMono is its fallback though since I use Unicode with frequency & Berkeley doesn’t cover all the symbols I use.
The important part is if you care anything about your fonts, you won’t destroy them by patching in that uncurated hodgepodge called “Nerd Fonts” clobbering used symbols or the wrought-with-false-positive “coding ligatures” which is not how ligatures are supposed to be used but programmers refuse to demand Unicode support in their languages to fix the problem.
I like Delugia for any monospace needs. It's a nerdfont, and it's nicely readable without looking too chunky.
Ah, looks like it's a pre-nerdified cascadia! Not my personal style, but I know a few that love cascadia.
I mostly use an android, and the default font is Ideal Sans Light. On my system, Arial Nova, Courier Prime, Helvetica Neue, Ideal Sans Book and a few others are regulars.
Every once in a while I get this itch which ends up in getting a new favourite font.
Protomolecule for that scifi feel
As a huge expanse fan, I'm glad someone brought this to life! (Shout-out for the space the nation podcast if you like nerds breaking down the episodes and need a good back catalog for the dark winter days)

I love Cartograph CF for the terminal and code editor. I like the handwriting-style italic variant, and it has programming ligatures. And of course I like the way the font looks.
There is an open-source font, Victor Mono, that also has a handwriting-style italic variant and programming ligatures. Otherwise its style is quite different.

Code new roman! It's so cosy, and readable. I am a sucker for fonts with the cursive styled 'a'
I've been using Source Code Pro for a while now. Might not be the best, but it does the job for me.

Lexend Deca for me. A mix of a dyslexoc-font, Arial and a bit of the roundness of Comic Sans. (Sorry, probably bad examples, am no font nerd)

Gohu Font Nerd is a nice small bitmap font I'm fond of. Only issue is the size for high DPI monitors, but the JetBrainsMono nerd font is a nice vector font that's easy on the eyes (quite stereotypical/cliché, but that's for a reason).

Please don't hate me but for desktop I use Segoe UI. After years of using it everything else looks just kinda off and cheap to me. Similar to when folder icons are not yellow
It is a well-designed system font. Say what you will about Microsoft but they do know how to make a good font or two.
Nothing wrong with that! I prefer Inter for nearly all UIs these days, but I still think Segoe UI looks better than GNOME's current default of Cantarell.
any with a dotted zero, extra points for italic.
Inter for desktop and the nerd-font variant of JetBrainMono for Terminal.
Lol I re-discovered Inter about 10 minutes ago, I find it a little better than Noto Sans. (edit) I'm not really sure, maybe I've gotten too used to the Notos.
