Actually you only need texlive-formats-extra to get 361 MB of archives, instead of 1,500 MB for texlive-full:

sudo apt install texlive-formats-extra

Package is named differently on pacman: `$ sudo pacman -S texlive-formatsextra` – Git.Coach Jan 02 '21 at 08:56

You can simply install the required package texlive-titlesec via yum (if you are using the RPM packet manager):

yum install texlive-titlesec

I did need to install the texlive-full package. It have the titlesec.sty file. The textlive package does not contains the file.

You need to reinstall MikTeX and install the full MikTeX package (not just the basic package). Took like 10 years to update everything. After that just open a document with LyX and after reconfiguration everything should work.
