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

nawordar, (edited ) Sans: Cantarell
Serif: Linux Libertine
Monospace: JetBrains Mono and Fira Code
Schorsch, I use Recoleta (in the alternative version) for my personal stuff. I just like the look of it and it’s IMO good for both body text and headlines. I also like the slight 70s vintage style.
chunkyhairball, (edited ) My favorites:
Mono:
Period. Full stop. A line of nothing but exclamation points. The Iosevka family blows every other mono-width font out of the water with at LEAST one, if not more, of its extremely customizable variations.
F/W:
fonts.google.com/specimen/Comfortaa
grimacefry, Inter Display - all UI stuff, it is designed for max legibility on screens. In Debian repos as fonts-inter
PragmataPro - all monospace/code. Paid for it 15 years ago and worth it, best mono font
Utopia Std - all serif document text. Purchased all the way back in 1998 and used for every doc i’ve ever written.
Props also to the complete IBM Plex family which is solid for sans, serif, and mono versions.
fossisfun, I actually like to use Comic Neue for personal stuff. comicneue.com
Ubuntu is another nice font, which I like to use for more serious documents. design.ubuntu.com/font
For system fonts I use whatever comes preinstalled. I don’t modify the font defaults in any way.
backhdlp, FiraCode Nerd for mono and Noto Sans for everything else.
thejml, I’ve been using Inconsolata for my terminal emulators for years… and now it looks like I have some other ones to try out!
mr_satan, Whatever is the default, as long as that is not some comic sans or whatever that Samsung font abomination was.
palordrolap, For monospace, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. Was set in my terminal already, but I've just switched Firefox to it as of this comment because I forgot to after a recent upgrade. The default was Liberation Mono, which I don't have much of a problem with (hence me taking so long to do anything about it), but the serifs on BVSM are a bit less severe.
Liberation Serif as the default browser font is fine. Most sites define their own proportional fonts these days anyway, but less so for
preformatted
text.For the OS in general, usually the defaults are inoffensive. There was a push a while back to use the Ubuntu font that I really don't like, and there I think I actually substituted it for the non-mono Bitstream Vera Sans, or some other similar font.
Vera is a Verdana-like font, which you'll know if you prefer the Microsoft options.
mfat, Google’s Rubik and IBM Plex Sans are my favorites.
doomkernel, Fira Code Nerd Font for the terminal and stock fonts for everything else
poinck, A custom Iosevka build for terminal and code and B612 font for everything else on the desktop. I moved recently from Monoid and Atkinson Hyperledgible.
flashgnash, Comic Shanns mono all the way
Satelllliiiiiiiteeee, I used to use Inter Semibold as my main UI font but recently moved over to SF Pro Text Semibold. I've been consistently using the Nerd Fonts version of Fira Code for terminal/IDE
conciselyverbose, I've set my ereaders to roboto thin or roboto light. I haven't been motivated enough to try to change fonts on other platforms.
