I’m surprised that open source technology isn’t used at American universities. My local university only has proprietary software which I guess makes sense because of industry standards, but the reality is learning on open source will be more beneficial in the long run.
Why show young bright minds free options when you can get more money from them for the rest of their lives with subscription software
