This is aimed at students/ex-students that used Linux while studying in college.
I’m asking because I’ll be starting college next year and I don’t know how much Windows-dependency to expect (will probably be studying to become a psychologist, so no technical education).
I’m also curious about how well LibreOffice and Microsoft Office mesh, i.e. can you share and edit documents together with MOffice users if you use LibreOffice?
Any other things to keep in mind when solely using Linux for your studies? Was it ever frustrating for you to work on group projects with shared documents? Anything else? Give me your all.
I study computer science and it’s definitely been an advantage. That being said, I believe circumstances might wary between institutions, countries, subjects and teachers a lot.
For documents, when we have a group task, we just use collaboration platforms online, like Google docs. Gets the job done easily.
When you’re alone, using free stuff shouldn’t be a problem.
A little advice: don’t bother with latex and use typst instead. Latex works but it’s often weird and the error messages are hidden in a thousand lines of “unfull hbox”
