From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why?
Probably because Windows is best suited for games and cookie-cutter corporate applications while basically every supercomputer, cluster, etc. runs Linux. Professors aren’t usually running games or cookie-cutter business software so why not? If your one-off, experimental research code is going to ultimately be run on a more powerful system running Linux, why write it on Windows and waste time debugging once you try to run it for real?
But like you could run games on Linux. https://protondb.com

Duff Life for me, thanks.
What about good ole Big Top Beer at my local Raytown market
Why what?
Why is there something instead of nothing
Are you speaking about you ?
Why were you shocked? Why this post? What is this about?
Because usually very few people use Linux, especially in public sector. And here it was all of my teachers, not just one
because Ubuntu has been fantastic for a long time now
Bold of you to assume Ubuntu was a recent version.
