Why?
- Probably because Windows is best suited for games and cookie-cutter corporate applications while basically every supercomputer, cluster, etc. runs Linux. Professors aren’t usually running games or cookie-cutter business software so why not? If your one-off, experimental research code is going to ultimately be run on a more powerful system running Linux, why write it on Windows and waste time debugging once you try to run it for real?
  
  But like you could run games on Linux. https://protondb.com

  What about good ole Big Top Beer at my local Raytown market

  Why is there something instead of nothing
  
  Are you speaking about you ?
  
  Why were you shocked? Why this post? What is this about?
  
  Because usually very few people use Linux, especially in public sector. And here it was all of my teachers, not just one
- because Ubuntu has been fantastic for a long time now
  
  Bold of you to assume Ubuntu was a recent version.
