    Proprietary software should NOT be taught in schools! We already have way too much of that

      If you do not teach proprietary software un schools, you will hobble your students’ job hunting potential. We should ALSO teach open source alternatives, and teach the idea that there are functional alternatives, but a student who has never used the major apps isn’t getting their resume even looked at by a human.

        Imo students need to be taught how to use Windows, Linux would also be neat, but it’s not necessary for most.

        They also need to be taught how to use any office suite, it can be libre office or MS office, it doesn’t really matter which but they have to be able to use it.

      Definitely talking about linked notes. Obsidian is far from the first or only player in the space. Logseq is out there for the FOSS diehards. I actually very much prefer the Logseq paradigm but struggled with performance issues on my machines.
