Microslop is a security risk. An OS with a backdoor isn’t useful for anything but gaming.

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

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.
