I don't even know which way the split would go. Many people i know studying computer science first year have a macbook, in what seems disproportionate. Maybe just general university student bias? also apple walled garden* lol *on the iPhone
They told us we should have a linux or a mac in first year comp sci and if we didn't we should use the lab machines. Probably because they are both unix like operating systems.
Couldn't just ssh in to the school machines when you weren't in the lab?
That’s what I meant by “use the lab machines”. Basically you can do the work on your own devices if it is Mac or Linux but are expected to ssh or remote desktop into the lab machines if you have windows
