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

Inter for desktop and the nerd-font variant of JetBrainMono for Terminal.

+1 for Inter. Kind of reminds me of San Francisco :)

Lol I re-discovered Inter about 10 minutes ago, I find it a little better than Noto Sans. (edit) I’m not really sure, maybe I’ve gotten too used to the Notos.

Please don’t hate me but for desktop I use Segoe UI. After years of using it everything else looks just kinda off and cheap to me. Similar to when folder icons are not yellow

Nothing wrong with that! I prefer Inter for nearly all UIs these days, but I still think Segoe UI looks better than GNOME’s current default of Cantarell.

It is a well-designed system font. Say what you will about Microsoft but they do know how to make a good font or two.

I’ve been enjoying Fira Sans and Fira Mono for far too long: https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/

I’ve been a fan of IBM Plex for a while now.

I agree! Nice memories of hitting backspace in a Linux Mint terminal and hearing that weird-ass BWOUP sound.

I recommend Ubuntu Mono for Termux users. Look at this black-background beauty – way better than the angly flat default

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.
