News that GNOME's design team is looking to make Inter the default font in GNOME 47 got me curious about what the typeface might look in action. Why

    Why do they do this?

      Do what? Nothing has even been done yet, they’re just discussing the possibility of changing the font…

          Fair, they’re pretty common but most fonts support OpenType variations which let you change parts of the fonts to other variants. Having a variant with distinct l’s and I’s is pretty common and Inter supports this.

            but thats counter intuitive, why not stick to a clear fonts? im not gonna judge ones choices but i just dont understand it is all.

              I agree, I wish fonts just defaulted to distinguishing between them

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.
