No matter what I do, there is never enough screen space on my laptop for an assignment, the raw LaTeX I'm editing, and the output PDF all at once

@seg Get one of those screen extension / virtual monitor software where you can use a phone or whatever as a monitor!

On Windows I used to use Spacedesk, which looks super dodgy but works quite well.

For Linux I think there are a few solutions. Deskreen and Weylus seem to be options, but I can't vouch for them as I haven't used either.

Or y'know, get an external display, but I assume that given the laptop constraint and implied educational context, you benefit from mobility.

@kroltan indeed mobility is a priority here, but it's good to know there's phone software to use them as external monitors!
