Have you ever had trouble using your computer in a public circumstance? What happened?
I've used my rice for presenting projects the last two semesters.
I only had trouble with the first time I did it in an art history class.

That is pretty embarrassing. I would have just booted into Windows from the start.
I have never had this problem, so it leads me to believe that you're all lying.
In fact, two different profs tried to do a powerpoint and their windows machines fucked up

luckily Ubuntu just werks

I'll never understand how the hell a clusterfuck of a hackintosh running the latest version of Sierra on hardware from 2011 ends up being more stable than GNU/Linux for daily usage. YMMV though.

Not using mod+p and a good wm
I guess I study at a decent college then.
People will look funny at you if you use a windows laptop and if anyone sees anything related to word or powerpoint you are going to get laughed at.
Windows is frowned upon but tolerated, but for fucks sake use latex.

>aka the technologies that don't have good templates
Don't get me wrong, I like reveal.js but the available themes are crap.

Nah, it just werks.
