No, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip.

I have the same and opposite issue.
Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.
@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.
Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.
There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers
I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.
That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.
My understanding is that with Pearson stuff the professors often setup the HW through it, so unfortunately this is often not possible.

How does it prevent cheating exactly? I can just fire up a windows VM and it won't know that I am looking stuff up even when proctoring I'd assume.
I've been fortunate to not have to deal with Pearson, so I am not talking from experience.
@NateSwift @nolight
Lidarr works best with usenet. There are good dedicated private torrent trackers for music though.
