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.

I'm seriously considering Bazzite now. Can you explain whether something like LaTeX with custom packages would work? I also don't want to redownload the LaTeX packages to vanish after a system update.

Also, I'm a tiling window user (i3). Will it be possible to use it in desktop mode?

As per my other comment:

Do your latex work inside a distrobox and you're fine.

I'm not sure if you can layer another window manager on top. You may have to create a custom image for that

Bazzite is exclusively KDE, and I honestly don't think it's possible to run a different desktop manager on it.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake, there's the option for GNOME as well. But I don't think they recommend even switching between them on an install.
