   every time I need latex, it feels like installing gigabytes of things I do not need.

     @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.

     @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.
