Your school didn't have computer labs? Ours had a bunch that were nearly always empty with all the software you would need for every course. I used them just because the screens were more comfortable than a laptop and it was often quiet in there.

    We do, but it's a lot easier to have a personal device that you can bring into lectures and labs, and then take home with you.

    With some classes, it is expected that you have a personal device. There are laptops that you can borrow, but again you need to go in to borrow and return it each day and download/upload your files each time.

    IMO what we need is a student society Linux user group that advocates for classes to drop bad software and confirms that a particular class is ok. This would help non-linux users too since some of the windows-macos-only software is straight up spyware.
