There are LaTeX distros, but just a few of them. Most people on linux use the TeXLive distro. I recently downloaded the latest version from its home (https://www.tug.org/texlive/ https://www.tug.org/texlive/), and I think it took something like 6GB on my disk. Probably half of that is font files. TeXLive is in (for example) the Ubuntu repositories, but they are usually way behind the release version. I’ve heard there is a distribution for Windows, and probably for MacOS.
- ketzu 6y agoThe most common windows version is probably miktex which comes with its own package manager which by default downloads packages on use, while texlive often is most easily used in the full scheme installing every package, but there exists a separate package manager as well, which is often not included as distros want you to use the OS package manager.
