Mine is

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?
I like Hack. I'm not huge on ligatures.

Recursive Mono. It’s freaking cool. I like ligatures so it’s got them, it’s nice on the eyes, and it’s playful without being too playful.
Bonus points if you use Semicasual.
+1 Recursive!
I use Iosevka Nerd Font. It looks nice and has various extra glyphs and ligature support.
Times New Roman
Maybe a little Fixed Width Comic Sans?
Variable width if you're really hardcore
Terminus.
To be honest, I don't care. If I dislike a default font somewhere, I change it, but there's no a favorite one. The font must be readable, that's all.

Cascadia Code is what I'm using
That's a very nice one! I also enjoy programming ligatures.
I use Cartograph CF. I like to use the handwriting style for built-in keywords. Those are common enough that I identify them by shape. The loopy handwriting helps me to skim over the keywords to focus on the words that are specific to each piece of code.
I wish more monospace fonts would use the "m" style from Ubuntu Mono. The middle leg is shortened which makes the glyph look less crowded.
Cartograph looks good. Ubuntu mono is also a great font but I guess it doesn't support ligatures.
I have a custom TrueType font embedding the UCS bitmap fonts so I can use it with modern font renderers which dropped support for those old font formats.
I use comic mono for the meme, but i also like courier and old school terminal looking fonts
Cascadia Code is my go to
Try this site and pin the ones you like to compare really easily. You can also change the code to whatever you like.
I think my main is Hack, though I really like Pragmata and Gintronic. Jetbrains and Firacode are pretty cool, though I much prefer the first three to either, and Jetbrains to firacode.
One thing I really like about Hack and Gintronic is the very laid back parentheses. They don't try to enclose the characters inside them like some fonts. They're both very readable, hack is compact, gintronic is more extended but it has this feeling of everything being a logical block. Pragmata I really like but hard to actually compare it because it's not on the site I shared above. Pragmata is I think as good as hack and gintronic, and it has the added benefit of having ligatures and nerd font glyphs built in! I'd probably prefer hack or gintronic overall if they had these features but they don't.
re: mononoki - what's the license, I don't see it in the github.
Monospace, openDyslexic, Noto Sans Regular
comic sans
Liberation Mono. It's probably not the best out there, but I like it well enough.
I started using comic sans mono ironically, but have come to realize that it legit is easy to read.
I settled on Go Mono, a few years back after going through a list of commonly recommended code fonts, and picking the one that I liked best. While I usually do not program in Golang, I still find the this font to be well suited for any programming language.
Whatever my distro defaults to when i put mono in suckless terminal's config.h
Consolas Bold
Consolas is perfect
