    Ok, I'll bite. I tried Ubuntu a few months ago. Logging into Eduroam was a bit of a process, but eventually I figured it out and it worked. Then one day the internet didn't work and I had no idea why. Something to do with the network drivers. Then I was trying to use OpenOffice (or LibreOffice? The one that came with the OS), and I use Zotero for references. The Zotero plugin had a bunch of glitches that made me not trust it. The Internet (back on Windows) assured me that it worked fine, but it was way glitchier than the Windows version.

    The bottom line is that I just need this stuff to work because I don't have time to debug. I love the idea though; maybe I was using the wrong distro.

    I've heard of issues connecting to Eduroam a few times on Linux, but I just don't get it.

    I'm on Debian with KDE Plasma, and it was very much plug-and-play when connecting to Eduroam. What issues did you have?

    Plug the info on eduoram 6 years ago and everything connected without a problem. Dunno wtf were you doing

    Idk eduroam works fine on my thinkpad. Other than having to conf some files and not having to install random programs for basic functionality linux offers, its more reliable.

    Yeah depending on your hardware things like that can still happen sometimes. I don't think it's a lot more common than on other OSes. It's especially not really usual for something as basic as network drivers to misbehave though, especially suddenly. For what it's worth, my experience trying to use Zotero on Windows on both MS word and LibreOffice writer was also a glitchy mess. Anyway, hope you try it again another time when you are under a bit less pressure and it works out better for you then.

    For what it's worth I have had the same experience with Bluetooth on windows. I was suddenly out of periferals while at work and I had to frantically search for a mouse while in a meeting...
