Using the CodingFont Tournament Bracket, I found I like Roboto Mono: More readable, slashed zeroes, sans-serif, good contrast. But unfortunately, it's bitmap, so it doesn't work with KiTTY.
Based on the font FAQ for KiTTY, it's not that Roboto Mono is bitmap. It's that it doesn't have consistent spacing calculations; adding the override file fixes it.
Instead of Powerline-only fonts, the Nerd Fonts Symbols Only Font is probably the best solution.
Since font packages aren't in most repos, the fonts themselves are included in the dotfiles repo.
These are set in the dotfiles to be used in:

- Can it detect ChromeOS as non-standard Debian?
- I don't think so, but bootstrap mode can detect via
cat /dev/.cros_milestone, which will be a number if it's a cros VM
- I don't think so, but bootstrap mode can detect via
- Implement Alternate Files: https://yadm.io/docs/alternates
- Set kitty to X11 or Wayland appropriately
- Implement bootstrap processing https://yadm.io/docs/bootstrap#
- Auto install tools
- Auto-run config changes that aren't drastically different files
- Might be easiest to test in Hyper-V VM or ChromeOS linux containers
- Can it detect ChromeOS as non-standard Debian?
