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.

hello!
black text on white with comic sans. lol
A variable width font in a terminal???
Use this instead: https://tosche.net/fonts/comic-code
it's not actually comic sans, it's something like this and i think i like this better; thanks for making me aware of it.
I can see comic sans making it more usable
How? It's not even a monospace font
It can be. : )

it helps if you're middle aged and some characters like "l", "1" and "I" look too much alike for comfort.
