> The lack of hibernation with an encrypted system is an annoying problem, though.
I don't understand. Hibernation to an encrypted swap partition (and even to a swap file on an encrypted rootfs) works normally.
> Not buying hardware from certain vendors (Nvidia) helps improve your chances.
nVidia just works if you accept the proprietary driver. On the other hand, with AMD, you get fun like this: https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2020/linux-amdgpu-pixel-format/. Of course, if you don't need high GPU power, use Intel integrated GPU, which works the best.

Consolas is definitely my favourite. I switched over in Windows when I first saw it, and now use it in OSX too.

I'd recommend Consolas.

OS X Install → http://www.wezm.net/2009/03/install-consolas-mac-osx/
With slightly more effort it can be installed on linux.

The article says of Consolas: "Too bad it’s not free … if it was, it would be #1 on this list."
Consolas actually can be downloaded for free, legally. If you're on Windows, you can download an installer for the font directly from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40…
If you're on a Mac, slightly more effort is required. Instructions can be found at:
http://www.wezm.net/2009/03/install-consolas-mac-osx/
Though, actually, you don't have to use the Terminal. You can just right-click the XML File Format Converter installer, "Show Package Contents," and navigate to the font installer package.

Call it stealing if you want, but here is a little tutorial on how to get the non-free Consolas font without buying anything from Microsoft. The font is included in a free to download dmg file from microsoft. http://www.wezm.net/2009/03/install-consolas-mac-osx/
