Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

Nope, indentation is still the same.

For example eight spaces are going to be twice as big as four spaces in just about any font, and Verdana still accodomodates well to this with its wide spaces.

Verdana.

The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn’t a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.

Letters aren’t meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.

If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!

Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.

You just went from having to be immoral when you’re poor to being poor being righteous?

Please make up your mind.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.

That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?

Going by OP’s post, their co-workers can’t sue them; management will listen, the union will listen, but they’ll do some theatrics and nothing gets changed in the end. Just break their legs :-)
