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.

Libertinus Serif is my current favorite. I generally like most garamond-likes for most books, but will dabble in a sans if the book is suitably scifi. Older favorites of mine are Adobe Caslon Pro and Adobe Devanagari. Baumschrift is a fantastic clean sans font but honestly it shines best on larger sizes for headers rather than prose. If we are doing monospace I love IBM Plex Mono in the light variety.
Oh, I like Libertinus.
