Probably because Windows is best suited for games and cookie-cutter corporate applications while basically every supercomputer, cluster, etc. runs Linux. Professors aren’t usually running games or cookie-cutter business software so why not? If your one-off, experimental research code is going to ultimately be run on a more powerful system running Linux, why write it on Windows and waste time debugging once you try to run it for real?
Why?

Duff Life for me, thanks.
Why what?
Why were you shocked? Why this post? What is this about?
Because usually very few people use Linux, especially in public sector. And here it was all of my teachers, not just one
Why is there something instead of nothing
When I look at my gut, I ask myself the same question 😭
Well Liebniz said it’s because of a necessary being bearing the reason for its existence within itself, if that helps.
No, because it’s circular logic. There’s no reason for a necessary being to exist before it does, and no evidence that one does in the real world.
Are you speaking about you ?
because Ubuntu has been fantastic for a long time now
