I started university today, I’m on a more general IT department. In first semester we have only one subject that is actually IT (rest is maths and english) that is about basic programming in C. And it turns out that university computers that we will use for this subject are all running Ubuntu. I planned to bring my laptop anyway because I want to have my configs, but it’s still great that students who never used Linux will be introduced to it (for some basic stuff tho).
I was actually quite surprised using Linux in technical university’s is not the norm in west, in india it’s the norm, every technical university atleast all the CS related departments use linux, my university uses cent os everywhere
I hope they don’t use CentOS anymore. It’s been discontinued 3 years ago.
Like, the dead CentOS?
It is the norm in the West. See other comments. I don’t know why OP is surprised.
