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.

MathJax Sans Serif
I use noto sans medium everywhere. (and the mono version for the terminal ofc)
Dejavu.
Not common, but Modern DOS is a great nostalgic family of pixel-oriented fonts for terminals and such.
I use Terminus (ter-112n) for TTY, Source Code Pro for terminal emulators, and DejaVu, Liberation, and Noto for others
Most of the documents I produce are converted to PDF or printed, so I use Nimbus Roman or Nimbus Sans (I believe). I do use Open Dyslexic font
For UI I really enjoy Inter, although Ubuntu, Roboto and IBM Plex Sans are also nice
For terminal I use Hack, although Source Code Pro is nice
Taking a quick glance at the font packages I have installed, I find the Liberation family, Freefont, the old MS core fonts, a couple of Bitstream Vera Sans variations (including Deja Vu), and the ancient URW fonts, plus a couple of CJK-specific fonts, since I need those characters just often enough for their absence to be noticed.
Freefont has decent coverage of what was in Unicode as of ten years ago, and so in combination with the CJK specialty fonts covers most common writing systems worldwide. I'm not particularly concerned about things like Anatolian hieroglyphs, a couple of hundred less-common emoji, or the Bitcoin symbol being missing.
I like the new intel mono, and ubuntu for non-mono.
14x8
The default font in the web browser on Ubuntu look bad. Different length between the letters and size
I use IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono
Google Sans Text, Cabin, Fira Sans, Roboto, Noto
For monospaced Jetbrains Mono, Fira Code, Iosevka
