if your workload works on linux id recommend it, im not aware of any distro that pulls that bullshit.

e: i love how controversial this simple suggestion is

the post states that op needs to run Respondus, which is proprietery spyware anti-cheat for school tests (doesnt run on linux)

i can confirm: ew is correct. it has admin priviledges and literally scans all running programs and captures every key press. u cant even ctrl+alt+del without it reporting it and closing itself.

it seems ironic to require cyber security students to install windows and respondus just to pass the course...

I just graduated with my degree in CSEC and, while my college luckily never had us do that, I know at least 10 people who would have found a way to trick it somehow into reporting false data

Does running it in a sandboxes VM work?

[-] spatialdestiny@lemmy.one 5 points 9 months ago

I'm sure it can tell that the hardware it's on or drivers being used is virtualized.

But unless it's using your webcam to track your eye movements or you're in a supervised space, you could use your phone or second computer.

i've heard that too. there may be ways to spoof baremetal, but you'll probably get in some trouble if its found out. i personally havent had to use the webcam (yet)

Haha, where's that guy who said he never sees "you should use linux" comments on Lemmy?

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

It's crazy how I know which comment you meant. Lemmy still feels more like living in a small village where everyone knows everyone. Or it was just pure coincidence, who knows.
