As I'm no longer a student I wanted to share what open source tools I've used through my education to minimize my dependency on vendor locked-in software, optimize my data availability and get a little more privacy.
|
||||
|
||||
But you probably wonder why you should use open source tools as a student when your school or university most likely have all the licenses you need for the proprietary tools that you're used too? Good question.
|
||||
|
||||
Like I mentioned in the opening, you start of by avoiding vendor lock-ins. This will help you keep your notes even when licenses expire. _"But Sid, my notes are still locally on my laptop?"_ Yeah yeah I know, but here comes the second point.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll optimize your data availability, since you no longer rely on a specific program for your notes (_with those custom, weird file extensions_). This means that you can explore a ton of tools to use and find one that fits you the best, without having to worry about copying and pasting all those notes into a new program or exporting them out in another format.
|
||||
|
||||
No? That's not enough to convince you? Well then, privacy! [There's so much tracking and documentation of what you're doing in school](https://theprivacydad.com/privacy-for-students-on-a-budget/), and it'll probably be quite hard to achieve privacy within the school system. But, why add even more tracking by using proprietary tools as well?
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, many of the open source tools I've used are free of charge, so you save money! That's music playing in a students ears.
|
||||
|
||||
_"Well then, what should I use?"_, you ask. Look no further! I've made a list over some of my favorites below, hope you try some of them out and start your open source journey :)
