I did computer science 5 years ago and it was mostly good. I used KDE Neon before it was considered a real user distro by developers so I had some Wayland issues. When I tried to use the commandline and edit config files manually I messed stuff up but using the distro as intended was always nice and easy.
Your milage may vary depending on what programs your school forces you to use because universities don’t support anything except Linux and Mac. I want to argue for accessibility but teachers don’t care enough.
