opuntiaOS VS WingOS

Bringing support of Aarch64, opuntiaOS boots on iDevices with A7-A9 cpus. We use a custom implementation of pongoOS as a bootloader, so a jailbreak is required, please find more here. While the OS boots, we have a lot of hardware drivers to implement for seamless experience.

Instead you are here, thinking about what school to waste money on, scheming about a several year plan where you have a smaller chance get to one of these FANG companies. I said smaller chance because you can't just transfer from a top PH university to a US target school for CS unless you won a renowned international competition, your best chance then in your proposed path is either:
