    I used a Windows VM when I was in college. Even if you are pursuing a computer science degree, yes, some professors assume/expect that everyone will be using Windows. Using a VM also has the added benefit of you being easily able to get rid of all the programs they made you install as well once the semester is over.

          Tell us about punchcards again, grandpa! 😉

          Just kidding. Solaris came out after I got my undergraduate degree…

          Same.

          Then I went to work for the company whose code Solaris was derived from. Back in time almost!

          Comically, now, my C and Solaris experience is a marketable skill for reliable employment, albeit less fun.
