I know I can write "\frac12" instead of "\frac{1}{2}" but it feels wrong. Like I'm going to be punished later for doing that.
Still, it's very tempting.
I'm resisting, for now.

I've come to the conclusion that, while I am still using #Windows 11 out of inertia, it's time to contemplate an exit plan towards #Linux . The switch won't be any time soon (I have too much other stuff on my plate for the foreseeable future), but I do want to avoid paying further license fees to #Microsoft .
Major areas of concern:
- My #Steam library. I am by no means a heavy gamer, but I want to check if the major games I enjoy are known to work on Linux.
- Migrating away from #GoogleDrive towards #NextCloud is going to be a major chore, but it's something I can start in advance.
- I am a very heavy user of Notepad++ for my #TeXLaTeX typesetting, so I need a replacement whose user experience comes close (and no, neither vim nor emacs count).
As for what distribution to choose... I dunno. Lots of people at my place of work use #Debian , so maybe that would be a good idea?
And here is my published dissertation @umphy, about quantifying the natural CO2 exhaust at the Starzach site in Southwest Germany (my result: ~10t/d):

I used a lot of #FOSS software and hardware for all of it and it was amazing. Honorable mentions: #gitAnnex, #dataLad, #KiCAD, #OpenSCAD, #PlatformIO, #Arduino, #TexLaTeX. I just wish I'd used #nix / #nixOS sooner.
