    I hate when “computer class” is actually “how to be a good Windows subservient slave”.

      Why? Teaching people the most popular PC operating system seems logical. Other PC operating systems function similarly to Windows.

        Because, as most other comments in this thread point out, the curriculum tends to be mostly quirky Windows specific bad habits. And not a solid foundational comprehension about how software and computers work. It imparts a narrow minded and practically analphabetical relationship with the technology that is a disservice to educational intent.

      I hate it, too. Coding on Windows? Forget about it. Terrible editors, terrible C compiler, terrible ad-riddled desktop environment. I have to bring my own laptop with NixOS to the school because I am just so used to it.
