I technically left about 9 years ago, 2014. The problem was, when university started, digital exams could only be provided in Windows or Mac (for the application). Bullshit I know, but that forced me to go back to Windows (and the only reason). Now I have some other courses in University and I switched to Archlinux with this student laptop.
And the difference is night and day, my old laptop ran Linux ok but most functions didn’t work. This laptop (from 2019, Latitude 7390) works better on Linux, the headphone jack can work as both headphones and microphone (at the same time), something the Windows drivers doesn’t let you do.
