Those of you who use Linux on a laptop, which laptop do you use? I’ve been thinking of buying a new laptop to replace my current ageing macbook and would love to run Linux on it.

      My tests are proctored virtually, the proctoring software for some classes does not run on Linux and they do not want to train their proctors on Linux.

      I’ve heard some students have had success using Linux anyway, but especially during the pandemic I didn’t want to risk wasting a proctor’s time and taking a time slot away from another student all because I would’ve been trying to bend the rules.
