Can someone please tell me of their experience as an academic, specifically social sciences, using #Linux distros? Along with #FOSS? Im curious to know if people were satisfied with this combination for several years.

@Saifmadadha25 Hi, I am using solely Linux since 2002 in academics. I would never change to MS Windows. Linux is fast, full of very productive tools, there is no hassle with licenses, vendor lock-in, exploding cots, intransparent data use and so on. I am an engineer, but I do not see any trouble in social sciences. LibreOffice offers higher compatibility to MS office documents than MS 365 Web-Apps, you can use the R programming language, which is wide spread in social sciences, and much more.
