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.
What’s the consequences for getting caught? Even if they do detect you messing with their install image, what are they going to do about it besides tell you to put it back? Unless they’re going to make you go for psych visits over software removal, it seems to me you may as well just try it and find out.
