Nicro (nicro@fedi.absturztau.be)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 20:45:12 JST Nicro @kaia Old Miktex user here, with a minimal install that pulls in packages as they are requested.
Professor: we'll be working in a shared Latex document via git, this is mandatory, please make sure it compiles before making changes.
Me: So what packages does the document need? It doesn't work with texlive-base (1,5GB).
Prof: I'm using Xelatex-full (4,5GB) and it works fine. Everyone should just use that, so that there are no conflicts.
Other person: I would like to use XYZ, which doesn't come with Xelatex.
Prof: You can do the same with these five packages, just read up on it.
I still have that install on my poor uni laptop. -

SuperDicq (superdicq@minidisc.tokyo)'s status on Wednesday, 16-Oct-2024 20:48:22 JST SuperDicq @Nicro@fedi.absturztau.be @kaia@brotka.st The fun part of LaTeX is that the actual software isn't even that large. Like 80% of the texlive is just fonts.
