Thanks for your share Marco.
Hey fellow orgers,
I started as post-doc almost 10 years ago, I made a point in having
linux on my desktop and only use software I see fit - and know - such
R, and LaTeX to write papers. The occasional word/excel document I
opened with libreoffice/wps office or more frequently remotely on a
window
Just an update to let you know that I decided to migrate from
Org-mode+LaTeX to ODF-and-related, particularly because of LPPL+GPL

Be aware that free software is politcally loaded. It's just not a matter of

I, for that matter, do not use any proprietary software to do my taxes.

Hi Edgar,

grad student, is your goal to learn about your field, to do interesting
work/research, and to eventually graduate? Or is it to defend your ideals and
use the software you like? If it’s the second, by all m
