There is a general perception that Linux is only for programmers and that if you have to use Linux then you can do so only through heavy use of the command line. But this is no longer true. Linux has emerged as an operating system which can work as the daily driver for non-programmers too. What is more, unlike Windows, there is no strange degradation in performance with time when using Linux. While there is a culture of using Linux among the students from the circuit branches (Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Electrical), this culture is generally absent in the non-circuit branches like Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, and so on. In this video, I discuss if these students should use Linux also. For almost any major task that a non-circuit branch student may need to do, Linux provides all the facilities (and more) that Windows provides. Be it programming, mathematical packages, finite element packages, word processing, graphics, everything can be done properly in Linux. Notably, for the very active research area of high performance computing, Linux is extremely important. But there is one exception ... If one is interested in solids modelling, then the industry-standard is Solid Works, and this software cannot be natively installed in Linux. While alternative applications exist (FreeCAD, LibreCAD), they are not as good as Solid Works. I discuss all this and more in this video!
