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 really like cascadia-code for my terminal (nerdfonts.com has the version with all the ligatures)

I don't do any graphic design or anything like that, so the fonts that come with any modern distro seem to do the trick - maybe I'd install ttf-ms-fonts for better compatibility when dealing with files across multiple operating systems.
