You are welcome to use any open source operating system, however the campus linux community cannot be expected to be expert with all of them. Therefore in order to provide a support focus, it has been tacitly agreed that the latest Ubuntu LTS release is our preferred general beginner supported linux operating system. After you are very familiar with linux using Ubuntu, then you are welcome to go deep dive with the popular scientific versions of linux such as:
