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.

Capital i is same as non-capital L... So a horrible font for me.

I guess they're copying mainstream OSes (at least Android) with this one

IIRC this issue is mentioned in the gitlab discussions (from months ago ... not sure how this became news suddenly); they're looking to patch Inter if they decide to use it as the UI font.
