Hardware + alternatives


Notes:

Linux-only is conceptually simple, but you may need Windows to cooperate with others.

Dual boot is a nuisance. You need to reboot too often.

VirtualBox is doable, but not too fast/responsive.

WSL is faster, but you still have to work around Windows.

Working remotely is nice if you have a remote Linux machine and a low-latency connection.

Glue layers may hide surprises. Set of calls may not be compatible.

We offer advice, but ‘support’ no configuration.

We teach C++, not systems administration.
