Why the fuck is this shit even allowed to be used in an academic

Did a master's degree in CS from a top 5 school. No one used Linux. Now, I am in the process of obtaining a PhD from another top 5 school. None of the students in the classes I teach use it. Just get over yourself and be normal for once.

Why can't you just dualboot? Stop acting like windows is sooo horrible that you can't bother using it. Suck it up

Used this from 2008-2012. It was shit.

There used to be tricks including modified executables. It was also unaware of what Virtualbox was for the longest time and would run within it.

It would kill processes solely based off of name. Pidgin.exe would be terminated but pidgin1.exe would not

It used to be possible to defeat its always on top hook so you could alt + Tab to other programs.

It would allow screensavers to work so about half of one of my classes set the windows XP "My pictures" screensaver to a directory with photos of their notes and then scribbled the pre-made notes onto regular paper. someone got caught, logs were review, and 40% of my class instantaneously failed

When the software crashed it did all sorts of odd hooks into WinXP that could leave it broken. several of my classmates had to reinstall windows after it crashed.

lockdown browser is shit in motivation for the convenient secure testing environment anywhere you have wifi on any PC but of course that has limitations for the adequately motivated and the way it hooks into windows is downright dangerous

Don't be so quick to judge

>>62303505
Considering that Windows itself is proprietary malware, it is also dangerous.

>>62303412
That, or it had something to do with the fact that I paid next to nothing because of grants and scholarships.

We install it for any teachers who request it for students to take online tests.
It has no other useful utility than that.

You are being forced to use this during your lessons?

Correct, for taking quizzes and exams. The professor refuses to provide a printed copy.

>>62303768
So whats the big dilly? It allows you to take an online exam while ensuring you aren't googling for your answers..

It's called Gnome-Boxes you dolt.

Its the students fault for insisting on brining in their own laptops and then expecting the college provide support for every OS under the sun.

The BYOD craze in school is cancer. You should all be logging into PCs in a computer lab. You little dipshits. I hate having to make the Wifi work on your shitty ChromeOS laptop, or your malware infected windows7 machine.

Is this confirmed to work? LockShit won't open on VMWare or VirtualBox

I bet he's one of those lazy assholes and does this because he doesn't want to manually grade students.

Just take the exam in the library or a computer lab you dumb nigger.

People don't care about which OS others use IRL sundar, real life isn't /g/ :^)

>>62304277
What you're referring to as a server OS is actually a server operating system with a desktop environment or as I have taken to calling it, you're a fucking virgin.

>>62304119
this desu

The main real world use of Linux is for running servers, or less commonly, for security work. Most CS majors will never be a sysadmin or security analyst, they'll be code monkeys.
/g/ is more of a sysadmin than a code monkey board.

>>62304277
Who cares what fucking OS other people use holy shit. Op just dual boot

>>62302450
I am at a prestigious university in New York. Very few people use Linux (although the school is still fine with it).

Have you tried this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1702183
?
You could also try to use QEMU (AQEMU is a GUI front end, if you don't want to RTFM.)

OP. Just get a second fucking computer like I did. Hell just type in the questions verbatum for the win.
