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.

Advice for a collaborative text editor (mander.xyz)

Hello, I'm looking for a simple collaborative text editor. We do have an office 365 subscription and it works, but the 10 minutes loading time every time you open a document are taking a strain on my mental sanity.

We don't need nothing too fancy, markdown support would be a plus, especially with embedded latex formulas and possibly bibfile references.

The things I really need are a simple ways to add comments to text and a changes view to immediately see what a collaborator modified.

I've been taking a look at hackmd, it kind of fulfills the role, but the pricing is a bit high for the features available.

Could be self hosted too, but to be fair I'd rather not have to maintain it.

Markdown is fine. I'll take a look at protondocs, pricing is not really an issue - but since this is public money I very much prefer to spend it on actual experiments.

Don't know about collabora, I had tried it a few years ago and found it very slow and finicky. Moreover maintaining the whole nextcloud setup would be something I'd gladly avoid.
