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.

    I would say just do it and play dumb if they bring anything up. Or look at some really weird shit and let them spy.

      I did the “look up weird shit” option last year and ended up having a nice chat with 10 different psychologists about it. I’m not doing that again but I like where your head’s at.
