Shaping of ingress and egress to have equal bandwidth for each computer

Let's say we have an internet connection with 1 Gbit/s speed. When 3 computers are downloading, speed is not equal for each of them. Is it possible to apply some shaping so each of them has equal bandwidth allowed? I want it to be dynamic - when no other is downloading, it should allow let's say 900 Mbit/s for one, but when two of them, only half (450 Mbit/s) etc.

I've read that shaping of downloading (ingress) is not possible, but how can I achieve equal speed for each computer? Is it possible with tc ( [https://linux.die.net/man/8/tc](https://linux.die.net/man/8/tc) )? I want to do this for each direction (ingress and egress). Thanks!

Linux at universities

Are there any universities that use Linux on student computers along with open-source platforms for learning?

How much money does this save the university?

Looking forward to your answers!

Thank you, Linux community!

As a person interested in computing it's been wonderful to have an OS where you can inspect it's source to understand how it works fundamentally. But even with that, I probably wouldn't want to pursue OS concepts were it not for the community.

People here (and on irc, distro fourms, etc) have treated me like a peer who's working together with them to further our collective understanding of whatever issue is at hand; Someone capable of independent thought, instead of an irate consumer.

This attitude has made all the difference.

Instead of dreading the dysfunctional hell of talking to someone in a call center when troubleshooting an issue, I now look at troubleshooting as an opportunity to learn something new. It almost feels like a team sport.

After a few years of interactions like this, I feel that I've grown as a person, learned a ton of new skills, and maybe become a little more compassionate when interacting with people online.

So, I just wanted to say thank you. I hope to treat the next person who needs help with the same authenticity, intellectual curiosity, and compassion that I've been accorded these past few years!

Educational Resources.

So I want to learn Linux from top to bottom. Desktop and server all everything in between. I threw myself into Arch Linux without a shred of idea what I was doing but I can say I made it out alive. Still learning and loving every moment of it.

Now I see that CompTIA has a Linux+ certificate. I plan on studying and getting this certification by the end of the year. Instead of just throwing myself into another wild fire. Is there any actual decent courses on Udemy or YouTube etc.. That would help prepare me for this cert? Or am I better off learning from trial and error?
