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).

    Nice! I had one class where we had modelling and the teacher literally used some form of openSUSE Leap with XFCE (looked horrendous).

    And they had a Virtualbox machine image, as that was most common to install, and everyone had Windows.

    She used zsh and had a really strange program that was all over the place, I was not able to get it running on Fedora Kinoite, and still have no idea why.

    That was crazy.

    In the other classes, Windows everywhere and quite some windows only software. While we actually had Nextcloud and OnlyOffice but nobody uses it!
