Can’t they use a normal cloud instance or a VM?
- vanviegen 4y agoOur first year consists of a pretty intense dive into programming, with many assignments for which we provide starter material. And for that we want all students to run a predictable environment. Also, dual booting helps some students to cleanly separate course work from gaming. :-) A few students (those whose laptops we could not convince to run Linux) work within a VM, but that experience is comparatively miserable.
- chrisseaton 4y agoYou should try some cloud development environments - could give people a completely predictable environment.
