    I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.

        At one point I triple booted my laptop with Ubuntu, Windows 7 and OSX mostly just to prove I could. Weird times, a lot has changed since then.

        Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu

          Oh, that. Yes. I can’t fathom using Apple hardware outside of the Apple ecosystem unless that machine if EOL. But never for windows haha.

            Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.
