What makes Windows a “bad” OS? Why does the computer science world force Linux on you?
I have worked on linux in school and I don’t hate it but I don’t see what it has that windows doesn’t (so far). The differences I do see on linux are manually done things, things that are automated on windows. Besides being free and no viruses(because I have avoided viruses my whole life through smart web searching/downloading) what are advantages over windows? *Also why can’t a computer scientist like me fix the problems windows does have*? I mean isn’t that the purpose of my degree? I’m sorry if I sound like a windows fanboy but I just want a totally performance/convenience based reasoning.
*I know windows is closed source but let’s just say I mean to join Microsoft and help fix it*
A great discussion on OS use in Computer Science education

It will not happen overnight, but California is on the verge of a hydro-revolution; the beginning of a radical transformation that will dramatically increase the amount of available water. It has already happened in other parts of the world. From where we stand today, this transformation sounds quite unlikely. There are those in California who believe we should return to a desert landscape, retire what has become the most productive agricultural region in the world and live with what little water nature provides. Fortunately, we have overcome even greater obstacles and water abundance in California is not only possible, it is inevitable. The foundation for this water revolution is already in place.
