Fonts
I always use Windows fonts with Linux. What font do you use?
MinekPo1, 
I honestly really like Ubuntu, not sure why, but its very smooth. I kinda want to try using open dyslexic though… I currently use Fira code for monospace though.
lemmyvore, Noto, Andale, San Francisco Source, Fira etc. There are so many nice fonts out there, no need to stick to Windows fonts.
lemons, 
I know that most people will write off San Francisco because “Apple bad,” but I really do love it. Simple, looks great, and does its job with nothing crazy. Same goes for New York. Credit where it is due: I think Apple makes great fonts.
BananaTrifleViolin, I use Noto Sans, or the Liberation Sans / Liberation Serif fonts. Tend to have a mix but Noto Sans for most desktop/GUI fonts.
I also quite like Libre Caslon and EB Garamond as serif fonts for reading, so tend to use those with e-reader software or on my ereader device.
I do install the old Microsoft Fonts just in case/out of habit but they seem to be disappearing from the internet fast now.
NekkoDroid, 
I download
noto-fonts{,-{cjk,emoji,extra}}andttf-nerd-fonts-symbols{,-mono}
Treczoks, Depends. I do most documents in Arial and Times New Roman, as they are two of the best in legibility.
I also use DroidFonts, and some TeX-Fonts.
I just found Monaspace and I think I'll give it a try (it is a monospace font family that does not look that much "monospacy")
ardent_abysm, 
I use fonts.google.com for discoverablility, but download the fonts from the GitHub repositories.
UI: Inter (if I bother changing the default)
Reading: Source Serif 4, Literata, and Noto Serif
Terminal: Fira Code
Text editor: Fira Code
Document output: EB Garamond, Source Serif 4, and STIX Two Text
Symbols: Noto Sans Symbols, Noto Sans Symbols 2, Symbols Nerd Font
Microsoft fonts largely don’t have the character coverage I need or are not better than what is available under open licenses.
Embedding fonts in documents negages the need for others to have matching fonts installed on their computer.
KISSmyOS, Whatever is default on the distro I run.
If I see squares with numbers in them somewhere, I install the biggest font metapackage I can find in the repo, which usually fixes it.
MyNameIsRichard, 
I use KDE which has noto sans as its default. I use fira code for my terminal and ide though.
0xtero, I normally design and create my own fonts before I start a new document or open console.
I use Arch Linux, btw.
railsdev, You code them by hand in the terminal before installing the DE right?
cygnus, 
Exactly. Using a GUI is too imprecise; it’s made for plebeians. I enter vector coordinates directly into the terminal.
0xtero, Preferably by sending signals over serial port and couple of wires.
sedot, Inter and Fantasque Sans Mono .
Dirk, 
What font do you use?
DejaVu Sans for basically everything. DejaVuSans Mono for things I need a monospace font for. Nerdfonts Symbols for various icons/symbols to show icons in Neovim or Waybar for example.
words_number, I use Inter for the UI and SF Mono (from Macos) for terminal and coding.
axzxc1236, I am a fan of noto fonts.
Teon, (edited ) 
I use Open Sans for System and in LibreOffice https://www.opensans.com/ .
And these are good resources as well, https://fontlibrary.org/
Aachen, IBM Plex. I like it so much that I’ve set a rule to replace commonly used fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana).
