Which operating system should a student entering a university as a programmer choose?

Question

linux

Hello, now I am preparing to enter the university as a programmer. Already decided on everything, but the question arose of choosing an OS for training. I like Linux, and specifically Ubuntu, more than "ten", but will I be comfortable with this system, if for sure almost all the training will be built for Windows?

Answer 1

I know about 20 operating systems, I constantly work in 8 or 9
What prevents you from doing the same?

Answer 2

1) I categorically do not like the phrase " for sure , almost all training will be built under Windows ". Find out for sure.
2) If indeed " almost all training will be built under Windows " - then this is poorly compatible with " for a programmer ". Because programmers are taught on open source systems. And because the use of Linux-based systems is growing, and the use of Windows is shrinking.
3) Regardless of how the training is built - the programmer must know several operating systems.

Answer 3

Do not take a steam bath and use like all Windows.
We put Windows, then we put * nix, in Grub'e there will be a choice what to load either * nix or Windows.
We practice here and there, trying to make the same learning environment in both OSes.
(In life it is useful to know both OS).
That's when you can successfully boot up without knowing where you booted (in * nix or in Windows), then the goal will be achieved by 50%.

Answer 4

Windows is rapidly losing relevance, so focusing on this OS is futile. The easiest option in this situation would be to use two operating systems at the same time. Can be installed on physical hardware or on a virtual machine. The second option is more preferable for Windows due to its extreme insecurity and active intervention in the hardware configuration, which can lead to failures in Linux (Internet connection failure, severe network slowdown due to Windows power-saving modes, and other unpleasant things). The beauty of virtualization is very high flexibility and security due to isolation. It will be possible to safely "torture" the guest OS, having previously made a backup copy.

LFS

Answer 6

if for sure almost all training will be built under Windows?

Who prevents to put Windows in a virtual machine? You are not going to play.
