I have been spent all morning digging through the technical requirements for some of the new modules and it is honestly wild how many proprietary hurdles are still being thrown at students who just want to use a machine of their choice. It feels like such an unnecessary gatekeeper for learning and the messages I am getting from people feeling forced into buying hardware they do not want to use are exactly why I started this whole thing in the first place.

I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but it just hit a serious turning point that feels like the start of something big. It is wild to see so many people dealing with these exact same software headaches and honestly it makes me feel like we might actually have a shot at getting someone to listen for once.

I really struggle because my laptop isnt windows and the uni software just refuses to run. Fix this.
SO TRUE. Stop making us buy expensive software licenses just to access basic course materials.
Being forced to use proprietary formats is a nightmare when im trying to get work done. Open standards are the way to go.
Finally. Its ridiculous that I have to keep a windows partition just for one legacy app that barely works anyway. Linux should be completely supported
Its 2018 not 1995. Get with the times.
