Okay, that's a nice anecdote. Is your point that no one should be allowed to have the freedom to install whatever they want on their devices because your parent was incapable of dealing with the responsibility? Do you also want to take

Not available in the "old" UI? Guess this is the beginning of the end.

Some software, mostly multiplayer games with anti-cheat but also RDR2 singleplayer, attempt to detect VMs. Probably because cheaters use them. I love my pci passthrough setup but these anticheats are a pain. Hopefully not relevant for uni w
