Need /g/'s opinion on this matter. The only things preventing me from doing this is Office and Visual Studio. Do I need Visual Studio if this is the IDE my school uses and teaches with? Do I need Office for writing papers/powerpoints or will LibreOffice suffice? I can't sleep while Windows exists on my PC, but I also feel that I can't fulfill my duties as a student without it. What do you think /g/?

what languages are you using, F# and Visual Basic?
you should be able to set up an IDE in linux that does whatever you want.
And yea, libreoffice does everything you need. Hell, markdown does everything you need

Try visual studio code on windows for a week. If it has the extensions and functionality you need, then you will be fine. Provided that you like it of course, being that it is not everyone's cup of tea. Its virtually the same on Windows and Linux.

Using C++
Can you recommend an IDE? Professor makes us send them the files. I guess I could always just compile it in Visual Studio on a lab computer.

You can do all that stuff inside a VM if necessary

>>61844261
I don't even use Office on Windows
Literally any IDE is fine, and you'd learn infinitely more if you used a text editor through school anyway.

I use vim and g++ for c++ work.

>Visual Studio
Is shit, VS Code too but if want shit go for it. At least try NetBeans or some language specific IDE.

Try Code::Blocks.

I'm mostly worried about my professors opinion on the matter. What if the code compiles differently when they compile my projects in Visual Studio?
>>
>>61844393
Debian has mingw cross compilers that emit Windows executables. Use an IDE or get Vim or Emacs set up as one and you're home free.

Wut? Not possible unless you use some boilerplate code, which you shouldn't anyway and even then is not like you can't copy it.
>>
>>61844573
if you use visual studio code it should output similar if not the same as regular visual studio
>>
If you have to ask, you won't make it anyways.
