Linux

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 try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc,, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

The learning curve is actually pretty manageable. Took me an afternoon to be good enough to create lab reports for Uni. Creating your first template takes a bit but isn't super hard. Afterwards you can reuse that and only need to tweak.

This is the Tutorial I used. For an editor I'd suggest VSCode with LaTeX Workshop. (There's also LTeX which is a great grammar and spelling checker)

I second this, haven't used the tutorial, I just learned by doing in the beginning and than took a course at Uni, which was really good and got me all the way to quickly being able to set up my own templates and quickly get a document done.

LaTeX workshop with vscode is also great, however if you're a (neo)vim user already, give https://www.github.com/lervag/vimtex a try, it's an awesome plugin and works flawlessly, especially when combined with zathura as pdf reader.
