I’m a computer science major, hoping to become a software engineer later on in life.
I’ve dabbled in various Linux distros, tested them in virtual machines, tried dual booting once, and installed it on laptops. My pride and joy being a ThinkPad T440 with EndeavourOS installed on it. While my main computer runs coughcough Windows as of now, I plan on switching to EndeavourOS once Windows decides to slow down.
Hey, i’m Cooper and i use He/Him pronouns, i’m currently majoring in Computer Science specializing in Digital Forensics. I also play trombone for the Graduate Jazz Lab Band here at BGSU!
Been using linux constantly for a few years, currently running Fedora and Gentoo on my desktop and my laptop is running Void (my personal favorite distro!) and Windows (needed Visual Studio and the lockdown browser).
Aye. Is the sad fate of many GNU/Linux users going to school. I remember my CS2010 section making VS a hard requirement for some reason, so I would write and test C++ code in Vim and my shell, and then paste that code into a library computer’s copy of Visual Studio so I could get the project file. What a world.

I enjoy GNU/Linux tools and general Unix philosophy when it comes to computer software. I wrote my papers in groff last semester. I can’t confirm it was not a waste of time but it was fun. Looking forward to connecting and learning from like-minded folks!
Windows (needed Visual Studio and the lockdown browser).
if i recall correctly, vscode is a good alternative, but i don’t know how that’ll play out in an educational environment.
as for lockdown browser, it’s a bummer.
for whatever reason it’s a hard requirement for CS 2010. i’ve used vscode for a long time and i do like it but i’m giving NvChad a shot and am thinking about trying Doom Emacs too.
I’m majoring in software engineering, which hopefully gets me somewhere in life.
I try to use as much FOSS software as I can in life. School has always done its best to try and get me to use whatever the new propreitary software of the week is, but I think I’ve done a good job avoiding it. My phone uses only FOSS apps (besides Duo Mobile. Thanks BGSU.) but sadly still has stock Android installed because Samsung sucks.
As for GNU/Linux I’ve done some distro hopping, as has everyone who uses Linux full time, but for now I’ve settled for Arch as my current daily driver. I used to use XFCE as my desktop environment, but have recently switched over to using AwesomeWM instead. I had a Windows QEMU/KVM with single GPU passthrough setup for school incase I needed it, but so far I haven’t (Plus I think I borked it awhile ago and haven’t bothered to fix it yet).
I also love to hack/mod video game consoles to push them to their absolute limits.
