In LyX/LaTeX, What is the difference between “Page Break” and “New Page”?
They both seem to do the same to me.

If you use \newpage, the page will be directly “cut off” and a new one will begin. The text/paragraphs on the page will not be affected in any way. If you do this, you might have a lot of empty space on that page.
With \pagebreak, the paragraphs on the cut page will spread out over the page, so you will not have empty space at the bottom. The old page will not look like it is the end of a chapter.
