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.

What fonts are you currently using on your system? Which do you think is best for the terminal or for your desktop environment?

(updates) Ok I think I'm a fan of Ubuntu nerd fonts right now

I know that this will anger some people, but I just use the defaults and I don't get why there are so many fonts, since they don't seem that much different to me.

Because anyone can design one.

I’m design nerd and definitely appreciate the variety but you don’t gotta be. The defaults are generally pretty good (if not great) with any major OS these days.
