https://quarto.org is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system. You write markdown text and it converts it to HTML website, PDF article/book, word document and many other formats.

"Using LaTeX" and and "programing with LaTeX" are very different things. For most people, LaTeX is a means to an end, for you LaTeX is your whole job. You're the exception, and exception can not be an example.

I'm still waiting for Quarto and the R ecosystem to better support Typst.

Latexmk has built-in option to watch a Tex file and recompile upon changes.

It got better, that's what happened. You're using Firefox ESR, it's not unsafe.

Mozilla also provides a Deb repo for Debian and its derivatives: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions

For media consumption, internet browsing etc, Linux is more than ready to replace Windows. However, problems do arise in exotic hardware combinations, but these days, this is the exception rather than the norm.

Forget left-right. Use port and starboard.

Their "Onboard memory manager" software for their mouses is actually pretty good. It's only 10MB in size and doesn't require any installation. The only downside is that I had to "enable" the onboard memory of my mouse by first installing their usual crap software.

The placement of the numbers and their relative size are ugly too. I understand why the sizes are different, but it looks ugly nonetheless.
