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.

Since basically forever I use DejaVu Sans for UI elements and DejaVu Mono for the terminal.
me too, I loved Verdana before I discovered FOSS and DejaVu Sans is basically FOSS Verdana
I always use Dejavu sans mono for terminal and programming too. I think its the best in terms of readability where indentation is important
