There's a story making its rounds across the 'net about a woman who missed several online classes, and failed her semester, and she claims this happened because she bought a Dell laptop with Ubuntu on it - instead of Windows. She didn't know what Ubuntu was, and was surprised to see that her Windows software, such as Microsoft Office, didn't work. While this isolated case sounds a bit ridiculous, there is still a bigger problem here.

I am in the same place right now, part time to get my masters in science and engineering so I do a lot of math. Home computers and servers are a hobby for me; something to have fun with.
I am in the same place with the choice of an operating system. I use Arch on an old Dell Latitude P3 as a portable browser and office.
I'm going to leave it here because I cannot justify insulting some one who doesn't know any better. But I will insult her for dropping out of college over it.
