Hi. My school just started issuing devices last year, and they have this Lightspeed spyware on them. Last year I was able to remove it by booting into Linux from a flash drive and moving the files to a separate drive and then back at the end of the year. This year I have heard from sources that they have ways of detecting someone booting from Linux so I am hesitant to do that option. My only other idea is to buy an old laptop off eBay that looks like it and install Linux on it. I could probably get one for about 50€. Does anyone have any cheaper ideas?

Oh also talking to IT isn’t an option.

      This reminds me of the times i and my friend had deep philospohical discussions… at 2am. During a weekend party, while drunk, in highschool.

      Anyway, don’t go down any rabbit holes in which you can’t see the bottom. Walk away. While whistling, if it helps.
