Emacs for Professionals
I'm one of those weird users who works in both, and I've also never really understood the need to pick a side. I initially used emacs for years, and now I've used both for years. I also don't pick a side in the tea and coffee debate, sometimes I want rooibos and others espresso.
Admittedly, my emacs usage at this point is largely to treat it as a collection of distinct apps; fire up in nov-mode¹ mode to read books, fire up in magit-status² to mangle git repository, etc. It really feels like there are a collection of best of breed apps that just happen to built on emacs as a toolkit, most of which are fully functional without buying in to emacs for life(not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with that).
The only time I really use it as an actual editing tool is when I'm working on documentation, and that is largely because I like being able to see inline screenshots in that instance.

Issue with pdf-tools on 3k display
Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

Just started learning LaTeX. I have a few questions
If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.
