Ask HN: Markdown/reStructuredText to write a PhD thesis in STEM fields?
Look at Thesisdown[0] which is a modified bookdown[1] template for a thesis. It’s based on R Markdown[2], so you get R (or other programming languages) in your document that is run when the document is processed.
The authors of R Markdown/Bookdown are working on a newer tool, Quarto[3].

German state ditches Microsoft for Linux and LibreOffice
https://github.com/typst/typst looks promising, both the language and the tooling. I wonder where it will find its place in a world that is dominated by either Word or LaTex.

LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
I hope in a couple of years we start seeing posts like these with Typst instead of LaTeX. It seems like setting this up would be a bit easier since Typst is much more concise than LaTeX.

I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)
For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switch to using Typst (https://typst.app).
Here's a few points:
- The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use it. Once in a while I can look up some symbol name in the docs but that's about it.
- Empty document is a valid document. No preambles, no includes etc, it's all optional and the defaults are sensible. Just start typing.
- It's incremental. Live preview from neovim is in the browser and it's lightning fast, pretty much immediate. No pdf sync pain. No build files, makefiles and all that. Just start typing.
While it's not going to beat latex in terms of serious academic use, for personal use and notes it's close to perfect.
(And of course it's written in Rust...)

I don't always use LaTeX, but when I do, I compile to HTML (2013)
Except the main theme, which was HTML export? https://github.com/typst/typst/issues/721
Though it's in the roadmap!

"LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"
I don't use LaTeX for anything these days but Typst popped up recently and seems like a decent alternative: https://github.com/typst/typst

Which software do you use to create presentations using Vim that is superior to existing ones?
I am surprised that no one mentions the typst. It is super smooth with typst-preview.
