I bought a cheap laptop for school just to run their windows anti cheat crap. Do you have to run something similar?
I already use Fedora Linux, and this Windows is in a virtual machine because sometimes my school requires me to use software that simply doesn’t run on Linux

Fortunately, no. My school expects me to use XAMPP (a LAMP stack) and Microsoft Office applications like Word, Access, and Excel.
While in the case of LAMP, I can install the individual services (Apache, PHP, MySQL) myself from command line, Microsoft Office applications won’t work like that.

Use Libreoffice where you can and just open it up in Word to verify

I guess I should count myself lucky everything is expected in be turned in as a PDF and Google docs is used for everything else. The anticheat recognizes it’s running on a VM and throws and error.

That’s where Windows belongs now, in a VM.

In a VM, in a box, at the bottom of the sea.
