You don't need no windows for no gaming, this isn't 2015 jesus

No no no, the backdoor is useful for gaming, not the OS.

The game companies need backdoors for their Anti Cheat, you see.

I know, but I still do classes and they require you use garbage software. Eventually I'll get it sorted out.

It might be worth checking if there's really no alternative. I intend to do that for my son; his school requires Windows, but he's starting to get increasingly annoyed by Windows (his laptop has Win11) so I want to check with the school why exactly Windows is so essential. Presumably, most is Web, so will work just fine on Linux. Specific software may have a Linux version, run fine on Wine, or have an open source alternative.

I know and for the most part that's how it is. Some of the classes still want to use Respond-ass. Which I just end up going to the school library for. If I have to use Win11, I will just run a VM. That OS has been a nightmare.
