Martin EscardoAcademics in Computer Science:
I mainly use Linux for my research
I mainly use MacOS for my research
I mainly use Windows for my research
This doesn't apply to me. Show me the results.
Poll ended at .
logBoy@MartinEscardo when I was doing my research a few years ago, I used an ubuntu laptop for writing (latex, graphs) and logged into a centOS cluster (some 2000 nodes) for coding and processing
@MartinEscardo I just noticed the CS part, my bad: this was in physics
I guess this is fine: if you do research on CS, maths, physics, engineering, chemistry etc., it's fine if you voted for an option other than the last one.
Any research that needs computers would do.
The reason I emphasized CS is that I am in a CS department and I am outraged that our IT Services were moved from local to central, with new people, and they decided that Linux machines is not something that people in a CS department need.
So I wanted reality out there to be recorded in the poll.
@MartinEscardo Wow, that sounds rediculous to me. At least give people an option!
I work with a lot of researchers now adays as support and in my experience it's the STEM area that are mostly on linux.
Except if there is some machine in the lab (laser, spectroscope, etc) that only runs on windows.
Yes, wow.
