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 got in trouble for getting into the schools network I’m 6th grade. They kept asking who in the group was involved in remotely shutting down computers and that they had logs and would find out anyway. I called their bluff and didn’t get in as much trouble as the rest of us.
