This looks cool!

lets you update whenever you want (e.g. not before a big deadline)

This is such a big plus, I was extra cautious that an update would break something right before finals

Any resources on dual booting? I didn’t have a great experience with it and I feel like students may prefer that for the programs that only offer windows / macos support.

University courses are usually “we only offer support for Windows & MacOS”, so a lot of students may give up on Linux unless they have the backup.
