Oh! In this case, Office and any other software they have to use, is free while you study. I dont see an issue in requiring students to have computer's that can run the software that the school pays for.

Its not about Linux being good or bad. I run Linux myself

I wouldn't though, if I was taking classes that needed me to run certain programs

I have to answer based on what I hear and not that may be the case. I believe that this depends on the education. Some require one to buy books, but there is a thriving marked for second hand books. I would not be surprised though if many also are available for free downloads, but I can't be sure

I feel you!
When i took my exams we didn't even have the internet!

The schools recommend windows or mac computers but not browser based computers like Chromebooks, basically because the software that they use for the education can't be installed.

Some schools do and others dont. It depends on what municipality they are and how they are budgeted. That said, all students get paid 6.820 kr. (€914/$916) a month while they study by the state and are offered very affordable loans. Also the actual education is free so getting a PC is often no more of a problem than buying books

Thanks! I guess foreign languages nowadays are just a minor inconvenience.

That said, apologising for sharing an article in one, is an even smaller inconvenience for me, so I can as well do it, for the sake of the few who may feel that its a huge burden

This is not true. At least not here in Denmark. Computers are ackctually required

You can even see in the picture above that everyone has a pc

Linux can play most games nowadays. You can check if your games are compatible and to what extend they are not here https://www.protondb.com/

Linux Mint FTW!
Changed partly because of this and partly because of all the ads, bloatware, spyware etc etc

I haven't seen them in ages over here. Especially since Covid, they disappeared fast!
