I'll be honest -- I was initially skeptical about the value of changing fonts. But I do see how the updated typography improves readability and feels friendlier overall. It follows modern web design trends like Wikipedia’s; but I do wonder if we’re trading off some of the "personality" of rough/challenging aura that fits kernel dev. Your new version feels a bit less hacky/unique. Anyway, font preferences are subjective, e.g., I've seen people run terminals with white backgrounds! What I’m more concerned about is that if we merge this, someone else might want to tweak another part of the UX next week simply because it “looks better” to them. We've to draw a line on what kind of UX changes we’re open to. From my side: Nacked-by: Carlos Bilbao Still, I really appreciate the effort you put into this, and I agree that readability matters, especially for long docs like ours. Thanks, Carlos
