Hey, fediverse hive mind. What are your favourite LaTeX editors/compilers for Linux? I don't need it to do anything very fancy, it's just for editing my CV. I am already pretty good at LaTeX and do not need my hand held. Currently running Mint, if that's helpful.

Boosts welcome.

@astronomerritt Texmaker is my go to, but I don't think I'm using many of the assist features. Either way, be careful of how much of texlive some of the editors pull in as a dependency, that can eat storage fast. Best to keep the editor separate from your tex distro.

@Nicro Texmaker does seem to have a lot of assist features that I would never use, but it also looks extremely easy to use, which is a bonus, probably.

Thanks for the reminder re: texlive bloat, I'd forgotten all about that. Apparently the full version is 6GB, which... seems absurd.
