I just ran my routine update script. For the fourth time today. And I’m hit with 2029 updated packages. Image is a screenshot of zypper displaying the updated packages. I had to zoom out very far. Who knew that having texlive installed would do something like this lol
This is the worst screenshot I have ever seen in my life
In my defense, this is because I had to zoom out as far as alacritty would allow to get everything on screen, so the res of the text got significantly reduced. Is there a way to take lossless screenshots of a terminal emulator, though? This was the only way I could think of doing it, zoom out really far and then capture with grim
(Works on hyper and IDK about other compositors) You can set your resolution to be 2x your screens avtual resolution and then take a screenshot which helps a bit.

It might be that the pict-rs instance on lemmy.ml has size restrictions that disallows uploading a full-resolution screenshot or something.
holy shit how many subpackages/libraries of texlive did you have?
I switched from LaTeX to Typst this year, and while I didn't do it for this reason, it's a nice side benefit
This plus compile time were my reasons for switching
I’ve tried several times but latex commands are so engrained in my fingers. One day. Maybe.
Are there some big drawbacks that one has to live with switching from LaTeX to Typst or is it generally able to be a full replacement?
It was a full replacement for me, but I was only using it for personal use.
If you need a unique and specific package, you might have trouble finding it since the LaTeX ecosystem has been around for decades longer. The other drawback would be collaboration and interacting with journals, where the people that grew up with LaTeX might be resistant to changing to something new. I'm not personally in the research side now, so I can't comment on it much further. I would assume that adoption also varies by the field of research.
I love typst! I have also been using it for about a year now, though only for personal stuff, because the math and more advanced formatting is not quite on par with latex yet. But it's getting close and it's so much nicer to use!
This is why you should do a manual texlive install... unless you really need bleeding edge LaTeX features
I just ran my routine update script. For the fourth time today. And I’m hit with 2029 updated packages.
I mean, that's kinda what you sign up for if you're using a rolling release Linux distro, and I'm assuming, given the name, that tumbleweed is a rolling release?

Yes:
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure rolling release version of openSUSE containing the latest "stable" versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. The project does this for users who want the newest stable software.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE
openSUSE[5] ( /ˌoʊpənˈsuːzə/) is a free and open-source Linux distribution developed by the openSUSE Project. It is offered in two main variations: Tumbleweed, an upstream rolling release distribution, and Leap, a stable release distribution which is sourced from SUSE Linux Enterprise.[6]
I mean, sounds like they've got a non-rolling-release distro too, and that won't hit you with all the updates.
