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 like fira code w/ nerd fonts. The ligatures are nice for coding.
The f and t crossers being at different levels breaks my concentration when I'm reading code. I prefer comic mono and fantasque for this reason, but fira code is exceptionally well thought out
I see that as a positive feature - I like every character to be clearly distinct and it helps me to resume reading when my concentration is broken.
