hi, i recently switched to civil engineering and am also thinking of switching from windows 11 to linux and was wondering if there's any software required for the major that has problems running on linux. i already know about lockdown browser and was planning to just rent a laptop from the library, is there anything else?

also, is there any specific distribution that'd be best suited to the software required for civil engineering majors? (beginner preferred, i've done some research but my knowledge of linux is still a bit shaky)
