I’d like to never boot into Windows again. I have VirtualBox installed where I can install Windows 11 if I need to but is there anything that it(Windows on a VM) wouldn’t be able to do like accessing hardware devices? Thanks in advance

      Lol same. Eventually (maybe the fifth exam or so) they just stopped caring about me though, and let me use my own laptop with openSUSE. Zero security, I was even hooked up to their WIFI and could easily have cheated… I didn’t though; the only exams where it would have been tempting were hand-written anyway.

      It sucks that education institutions care so little for people not using giant corpo microshit though.

        Its so bad too.

        Our school used ciscovpn for access to the university cluster and web services.

        I figured out how to configure openconnect to work properly. And even wrote and hosted documentation for other Linux users to do the same.

        However the school had no interest in incorporating my documentation into their VPN help site.
