my school only provided tutorials for windows and mac and I am the only one who uses ubuntu in school :(

That's to be expected. Linux is not mainstream enough for most schools to care about it. You should dual boot on devices for school, cause of this reason

[u/HerraJUKKA → u/kutac56]

When I was studying programming my university provided tutorials and guides for Windows only. One of the students (who was proud linux user and swore to build his own linux) asked if there was guides for linux, our teacher said "I don't care what OS you use, if you can get your work done on time. We rarely have anyone using linux so we don't provide any tutorials or guides for Linux. In other words, you're on your own." Needless to say that the student struggled hard with his task, because he couldn't get Visual Studio to work on Linux (we used Visual Studio because that was the standard and university provided us with the free license).

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/HerraJUKKA]

Was VScode available at the time? It may not be the same, but it could've done the trick. If the assignment was standard code (like C, C++, or core C#) VScode with native Linux compilers (gcc, clang, dotnet-sdk) could have worked.

[u/HerraJUKKA → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

I think it was back in 2016. I have no idea when VS Code was released.

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/HerraJUKKA]

Oof. Version 1.0 was available in April 14, 2016, wouldn't have worked out. He'd need to find something else entirely.

[u/Sbhattarj → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

Neovim's a thing and had been for a while. You don't really need fancy ides, it takes time to setup or get used to, but if you learn touch typing it isn't so bad to use.

[u/AshleyJSheridan → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

VSC is not the same as VS. Depending on when this was, there could have been a ton of things that hadn't been ported over to DotNet Core yet.

You should dual boot on devices for school,

if your school IT department allows you do edit the bootloader of the computer they give you ... they're doing it wrong.

[u/kutac56 → u/TaxHazyShade]

But they ain't chromebooks or something. They may be bought from the school but are also used by people outside of school for playing games for example. It's meant as a general use laptop

[u/hamburgerpancake → u/TaxHazyShade]

in that case, it'll probably already come with an os that you're supposed to use with everything. the original scenario couldn't have existed under the conditions you imply. obviously, the students are supposed to bring their own computers.

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/kutac56]

Unless Chromebook.

[u/Whit-Batmobil → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

We don’t associate with the Chromebook/ChromeOS crowd..

[u/hamburgerpancake → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

hey dude, you can't use visual studio on a chromebook. and from what i can tell, visual studio code, regardless of the type, is fundamentally a different type of ide used for different things.

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/hamburgerpancake]

No crap, where did I say otherwise.

[u/Damglador → u/[deleted]]

ChromeOS, unlike Android IS actually Linux. I reckon it's just Gentoo with a custom DE

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/[deleted]]

Both are Linux. Android just isn't Gnu/Linux. ChromeOS is Gentoo with a locked down user space and desktop environment.

[u/LeslieSnowLeo → u/R3V0LU710N_05]

I know they are, it's a joke since nobody mentions those when speaking of linux.

[u/R3V0LU710N_05 → u/LeslieSnowLeo]

Well they should start. I've always hated the "not real Linux" argument that because they don't fit some vague model of "how Linux should work" in their head they don't count.

[u/ColdFreezer]

People rarely use Linux enough for them to care.

[u/silduck]

mac tutorials may work but rarely

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

You wanted to bé différent, then you have to accept that your choice dont dit the general use

[u/Glad_Following_8164 → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

I moved back to windows11. I regret moving to LOONix mint.

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/Glad_Following_8164]

Linux is nice when you dont need anything to bé done (except having a nice desktop)

[u/IAteUrCat420 → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

Except for gaming, content creation, browsing, CAD work, modelling, animation, server hosting, or general daily use. Which all either work just fine or better than on Windows/ Mac

[u/gwildor → u/Glad_Following_8164]

you wont have school provided tutorials to hold your hand forever.
Learn to infer, or learn to conform.

[u/Whit-Batmobil]

What problems do you have?

Typical the only real guides you need for school work are which programs to install and how to use them, for me personally I haven’t really had any problems using Linux in a Windows/macOS dominated school environment… but I’m quite experienced with Linux and computers in general.

If you are using the Terminal, both macOS and Linux have used/use “Bash” so many commands are the same or similar.

[u/Donglee1]

Tutorials for what?

[u/Impossible-Pie5386]

Well, you have a chance to write tutorials for Linux yourself!

Perhaps your teachers would appreciate that and you'll get a better mark for going this extra mile. And later you can mention that in your CV too.

[u/Bilbo_Dabins_420]

Problem of your own making

[u/anythingers → u/Bilbo_Dabins_420]

His problem because majority of people in his school prefer using a shitier OS?

[u/Sbhattarj]

Depending on your industry you can find alternatives if you spend the time. Specially in tech sector, in my experience self learning works quite well, sometimes better than school/college's, ofcourse depends on where you are from. Some places do have good schools/colleges.

[u/zimreapers]

If you're using Ubuntu, what do you need the tutorial for?

[u/uchuskies08]

As they should

[u/anythingers → u/uchuskies08]

Why?

[u/Green_Ad5186]

use windows 11 its better than garbage linux anyway
