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.

Eh. I don't feel Cantarell "dated" or "not modern". I don't even use GNOME anymore but I reckon Cantarell is actually a great font, it's legible and has character. It's almost like you can tell it's about GNOME when you see Cantarell somewhere. If I were them I'd invest into giving it more weights (I'd really like it if it had a lighter version), variations and extending it. They have the power and resources to do so.
imho they're trying to solve a problem that doesn't even exist. Inter's default is a poor choice, as some of you have already noted here.
