Get off your Windows high horse: Try something new
The vast majority of students use Windows, with a small selection using Mac’s and a very niche number using a Linux variant. But what good is it if you are going into a working environment and they don’t use the software you’ve always been used to?
It’s not what you use; it’s how you adapt.
Even though I had never used Ubuntu before, or any Linux operating system for that matter, I went 48 hours into an environment I had never been in before, and made it to the end with a great sense of admiration for the open-source competitor.
While I wouldn’t necessarily use it as my main production machine for writing essays and suchlike, when you’re on a long haul flight from London to New York, running Ubuntu does boost the battery life to hold out for the long run.
