I study math at uni and I was shocked realizing all my teachers use ubuntu on both their laptop and work desktop

minus-squarech00f@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·6 months agoJust seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
minus-square555@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoOh, that. Yes. I can’t fathom using Apple hardware outside of the Apple ecosystem unless that machine if EOL. But never for windows haha.
