I don't dual-boot this machine, but there is an iMac in the house, which
I use on rare occasions--last was about a month ago, and just to
sneaker-net some files; time before that? I don't know. LOL.
I have many friends who dual-boot or run a GNU/Linux distro in a virtual
space. They're not using Trisquel, and find it odd that I do.
I sympathize with the post-modern housewife's rant regarding course work
being too intimately tied to a certain proprietary bit of software. So
often, I hear people talking of so-called "computer science" coursses,
only to find out that much of the class's time is spent learning how to
use some IDE, or other, instead of fundamentals. This is probably more
likely to happen in settings geard to making people more-immediately
employable. I'm sure this happens with tools like Excel and business,
accounting, or stats courses, too.
