did/do you have to use any special software related to the study?

I'm thinking of maybe going to uni in the future and studying something like the above. But it definitely won't be for a few years.
In the meantime on an unrelated note I'm getting absolutely sick of Windows 10's shit and am thinking of switching to Linux and saying byebye to Microshit forever. I only have basic computer needs at the moment, and I try to do everything in the web browser, so Firefox + LibreOffice + VLC pretty much covers me.
But obviously if I go to uni in the future and study something like the above and specialized software is required or recommended (and that application I'm guessing would be Windows-only), then maybe I should just grin and bear Windows's shit.
