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.

I always use Windows fonts with Linux. What font do you use?

Installing Microsoft TTF packages on my distro used to be one of the first things I did. Sometime back I ended up finding suitable replacements that are stock (less packages, less installation steps, less proprietary software.)

I've recently found the Inter-font package (mentioned in one of Infinitely Galactic's YouTube videos. It's excellent, clean like Noto Sans, but slightly more readable. I'll swap in the Ubuntu font every now and then for fun though, I really like that one too.
