    • Is there an alternative to learning Latex for publishing research papers?

      You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX.

    • Math and Science People: How do you write equations / proofs?

      Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian.

    • VSCode vs Texifier (formerly texpad)

      I like LyX. It’s not for everyone, but damn it can be effective.

    • Best offline editor/compiler

      An upopular opinion perhaps, but I’m a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX.

    • Adding custom words to the dictionary LINUX

      I don’t think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org.

    • Bachelor Thesis – LibreOffice vs Word vs LaTeX

      LyX! Seriously, at least give it a look. Read about it for 10 minutes. Know that you can change the background color from that aweful beige.

      A perhaps slightly unpopular opinion, but you can get most of the benefits and very little of the hassle by using the LyX editor.
