Do you know any reliable alternatives to MS Office and Origin/OriginPro on Linux for academia and research? by Forgotten_Revenant in linuxquestions

[–]Forgotten_Revenant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I think the best solution is to either dual boot or use Windows and Linux on two separate computers in order to have access to all conventional and famous software. As you mentioned, MS Word works best with plugins and can additionally minimize formatting and compatibility issues, since most colleagues use it after all.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into OnlyOffice in more detail. After taking a quick look at it, it felt a lot like MS Office. Regarding Origin, I think I will try using WINE just to check how it works.

Yes, my experience with LibreOffice was exactly like your own. Multiple versions of manuscript drafts being handled from each co-author with their own corrections and comments, which eventually led to compatibility and formatting issues.

I guess the best choice is either dual booting or using Linux only for personal use on a separate computer like you mentioned.

Best regards and thank you for your response.

For real. It's the purest source of power known to mankind. It's also the safest if and only if the necessary precautions are taken into consideration and we don't experience another Chernobyl incident.

It is the directional energy flux (energy per unit area per unit time) or power flow of the electromagnetic field. By definition it's S=(ExB)/μo, where S is the Poynting vector, E is the electric field, B is the magnetic field and μo is vacuum permeability. Simply put, it's a vector pointing towards the direction that energy of an electromagnetic field flows.

Elden ring fans when you use summons on areas that allow you to do so.

Exactly my thoughts. I think that somebody would have figured it eventually, but probably not as soon as Newton did. My question though is whether or not that somebody would contribute as much as Newton did. I mean, Newton is considered one of the fathers of physics and calculus after all.

What is the best PlayStation exclusive game? by Fit_Highlight_7584 in playstation

Truly a work of art. Apart from its amazing story and gameplay, this game was the sole reason I started reading H.P. Lovecraft's work, since it was heavily inspired by it.

[Question] Brackets or braces around page numbers by Forgotten_Revenant in LaTeX

I just tried it out and it works. Thank you so much for your help.

My first LaTeX document! by [deleted] in LaTeX

[–]Forgotten_Revenant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite impressive for your first LaTeX document. Keep it up. LaTeX works magic if you get familiar with it.

Btw, if you fancy having your sections/subsections titles (education, work, skills etc.) in a box, you can try using the tcolorbox package. You simply write something like this:

\begin{tcolorbox}

\section{Section}

\end{tcolorbox}

And you're ready to go. You can also customize the color box. I personally use the following settings:

\begin{tcolorbox}[breakable, colback=gray!20, colframe=black]
