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 the most common on Linux today? (reddthat.com)

For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.

[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]

I've been using JetBrains Mono Nerd Font for my terminal as of late and Inter for my GUI's.

JetBrains Mono NF masterrace represents!

Honestly if I have to choose only one mono font family to use for the rest of my natural life, JetBrains Mono without a shred of a doubt.
