I'll claim this text is at least not worse than the previous one, and that a more detailed description of $PATH (probably something like "shutil.which("foo") returns something else than None) should go to environment_variables_faq.rst, but this can be done as a separate PR.
(Also, the dependency on dvipng may be removed soon, see #30039.)
- Merge "Troubleshooting" and "Possible hangups". - Don't list $PATH issues twice. - Remove mention of dvipng for pgf (which doesn't use dvipng). - Be more generic re: missing latex packages (this applies to all texlive installs, and the required list is given elsewhere).
