![]() ![]() Would not recommend trying with pirated Windows unless you are a veteran Windows cracker though, as the update that corrupts the boot order of hacktivated Windows installs can really fuck up your computer. You can install Linux on either Mac or PC, but PC is simply cheaper. ![]() You should spend as much time as possible in a Linux environment: employers look for it, and it will make programming far easier. In 90% of cases, it's C/C++ anyways.Īs a side note, dual booting Windows on a Mac is retardedly easy these days. Installing and using Linux is the best thing you can do for yourself as a computer science student. It is my understanding that CS degrees focus more on the math/theory, and less on practical coding (though you should get a CS majors opinion on this), meaning that you would generally be free to choose your language/compiler. I found, as an engineer, that programming was actually easier for me in OS X, because all the lab computers were Linux, and the code was marked on (read: required to run and compile on) Red Hat.īut then, we used mostly gcc/g++ any courses involving ASP, VisualBasic, or. ![]() OS X is fundamentally similar to Linux, and other UNIX like operating systems, meaning that it natively plays nice with most open source languages like C, C++, Python, Perl, Ruby, Bash, Java, LAMP, etc. I have no idea about CS students, but I know that as engineers we get access to the Microsoft academic alliance, which includes windows, but not office.Īs far as your actual programming work goes, it depends what kind of programming you do.
