Linux is much more commonly used in embedded systems than Windows for obvious reasons.

Intel is a near monopoly and it controls the physical hardware that runs the entire universe with the exception of mobile devices and embedded.
If you’re going to break anyone up that’s who I would go for first but because of the pipe dream of making computer chips in 'Murica these idiot politicians keep propping up Intel’s Wall Street investors while its employees get fucked over.
At the very least the x86 duopoly has to end. It’s not only legal but kept the way it is because of legal contracts. The courts need to declare them void because their enforcement leads to the violation of antitrust laws.
So they’re breaking up Google but giving Intel more free money after it cut 15k jobs?
Not anymore. As of driver version 555 Nvidia works just as well as anything.
As a former computer science and economics TA and lecturer all I have to say is please don’t be that guy.
If your class uses Windows, use Windows, if it uses Linux use the exact same distribution as the instructor and for the love of whatever you believe in if you bring a Mac into my classroom and argue with me that it’s Unix so it’s close enough I will smash it over your head and fail you so you don’t hold up my class because you think you’re special.
OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I’ve even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn’t be met in C.
Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.
This is the result of so called tribal knowledge in software development. It’s even worse when the senior citizen who understands everything retires, goes senile, or dies.
When the RTX 9090 Ti comes, anyone who can afford it will be able to run it.
If you accidentally go over 2 hours, though, then you’re stuck with it.
Always has been.

The hard part isn’t reading assembly. The hard part is figuring out why it’s doing what it’s doing with no comments or function names or anything useful to help.
This is like saying if you can read English you can understand an advanced math or physics paper written in English without having any knowledge or context of those subjects.
Raspberry Pi OS is made to be easy enough for kids. It’s literally point and click. There’s nothing to learn. And Raspberry Pis can be much cheaper than that. You can get a Pi 4 2GB for $40.
It takes a little getting used to but once you do it’s very comfy. And you can watch content from anywhere that supports viewing in a browser or Linux desktop app including some swashbuckling ones. Lol.
Get a raspberry pi and a cheap wireless mouse and keyboard.
This is why I use Fedora for everything except gaming and MS Office.
