Everyone’s welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux minimalism and share their experiences, no matter their skill level.

Bloatware slows things down, creates security issues, and makes software harder to use by piling on features most people don’t need. Minimalist software, on the other hand, keeps things simple and efficient — it respects your time and doesn’t waste your device’s resources.

I downloaded bitmap fonts from https://github.com/masaeedu/bitmap-fonts, added to /usr/share/fonts/bitmap, but only Terminus shows up in Cinnamon or Mousepad font selection. The fonts do show up in fc-list, but I can't use them anywhere. I replaced absolutely everything with Terminus, but I still want to use other bitmap fonts. I didn't do sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig because I'm on Arch. I reinstalled fontconfig but that probably didn't do anything.
