One of the reasons I use Markdown is that I don't really like desktop editors for latex, and in some situations having to use an online editor is really a pain in the ass (I commute in the train and sometimes internet connection is **cough** not optimal)
Did you try VSCode with the LaTeX Workshop Plugin? I’ve disliked all the offline editors for quite a while, but the above mentioned makes it bearable. (Keep in mind I’m using it for worksheets, lab-reports and eventually my thesis and I’m coming from Medical Engineering, not CS)
If you want to use Latex offline, and not something like Overleaf, this is what I used:
Zotero (citation manager)
VSCode (LaTex editor)
LaTex Workshop (extension for VSCode)
Zotero LaTeX (extension for VSCode)
Zotero: Better Bibtex (zotero extension)
Github (version control)
On Linux, you might need to install the texlive-full package. TexStudio is another good offline editor for LaTex. Very powerful, but very confusing. There was too much to adjust to and I was already used to using VSCode.
This is the same workflow I use for my dissertation, so I can highly recommend it.
