It's not always an option. For example, every computer in my house runs normal desktop GNU, except that I was forced to buy a Chromebook because my university's proctoring software only supported that, MacOS, or Windows.
Windows in a VM on Linux?
Lots of those fucking proctoring softwares detect when you're in a VM and refuse to run. 🙄
Afaik there were ways even around that.
There are but sometimes you want shit to just work. Annoyingly, a real windows computer is the easiest sometimes.
Yeah I remember our school stuck out like a massive sore thumb and ran Linux on its computers until the very, very fucking end. The Dept. Education eventually threatened budget cuts that would kill the school. They eventually folded but to really make it hard for the dept. ed they said that all the laptops that were already running linux could and would continue to run linux. The reason why is because of some monitoring program the dept. ed wanted to put on that linux wouldn't run.
