What is your “basic” list of fonts every linux desktop user should install ?
Comic neue, must have for all the important legal documents.
For me personally, it’s Victor Mono and Iosevka. Victor Mono for desktop and Iosevka for VSCodium.

I commonly use the following font families:
Hack
Noto
Inter
Helvetica
Montserrat
Space Grotesk
Times New Roman
Atkinson Hyperlegible
Cormorant (Garamond)
These are the ones I install on every system:
ttf-caladea 20200113-3
ttf-carlito 20230509-1
ttf-fira-code 6.2-2
ttf-liberation 2.1.5-1
ttf-linux-libertine-g 20120116-7
adobe-source-sans-fonts 3.052-1
adobe-source-serif-fonts 4.005-1
noto-fonts-cjk 20230817-1
noto-fonts-extra 1:23.11.1-1
Currently trying otf-monaspace though and I quite like it.
I always install the Noto fonts for things like emojis and asian characters, extra fonts to cover the Cyrillic alphabet, and finally OnePlus’s Slate font, which I fell in love with back in the days when I rocked a OnePlus 7 Pro.
- inter for gnome
- fira-mono for terminal
- fira-code for coding
- noto, liberation and dejavu for completion
I really like cascadia-code for my terminal (nerdfonts.com has the version with all the ligatures)
I don’t do any graphic design or anything like that, so the fonts that come with any modern distro seem to do the trick - maybe I’d install ttf-ms-fonts for better compatibility when dealing with files across multiple operating systems.
Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.
I usually use Roboto or Inter as my desktop font on gtk/gnome
i have monofur for my terminal and inconsolata for the graphical apps
