Documentation
# LaTeX Editor
Native TeXstudio + a minimum TeX Live install inside a streamed KasmVNC desktop.
## Version
Debian Bookworm `texstudio` **4.3.1** (upstream is 4.8 — gap is harmless).
## Bundled TeX packages
The image bundles `texlive-latex-base`, `texlive-latex-recommended`, `texlive-latex-extra`, `texlive-fonts-recommended`, `texlive-science`, and `latexmk` — about 600 MB. This compiles most academic articles, math papers, and CVs out of the box.
If you need more (XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, full bibliography styles, exotic fonts), open a terminal inside the session and `apt-get install texlive-xetex` etc.
## First launch
TeXstudio auto-detects `pdflatex`. Create a new file, hit F5 to build + preview.
## Storage
`/config` is the in-session user's home — tex files anywhere under it persist. 10 GB volume default.
