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 always use https://luciole-vision.com/luciole-en.html to typeset documents like letters and such. I find it pleasant looking and it is supposedly easy to read for people with dyslexia.

i have monofur for my terminal and inconsolata for the graphical apps

All three not just proprietary but also expensive, unless you copy them off a Mac OS install.
