Both scenarios are fine with me. I don't care if they're incompetent or just don't care, as long as I can use my softwares. But I doubt they would have the time to scan every staff's laptop to see what applications we use. They also said it was mandatory for all the students and teachers to use the stupid 2FA Microsoft app on our phone, but I've been using Keepass on desktop without problems (and even shown it to some students). Next step, I'm gonna install Fedora Asahi Remix on the M1 mac they provided me.

Yeah if they're just using the MS app for OTP generation, there's no reason to use that specific application. Keepass is perfectly fine.

Asahi is pretty great. Only issue for me personally is the lack of speaker support. Audio works fine through headphone jack or bluetooth though.

That's too bad for speaker support cause these M1/2 have the best sound I've seen on any laptop. How are the graphic performance, can they match what we have on macOS? I secretly dream of the day we will be able to use the Apple silicon macs for VR. I actually managed to get some things to work decently with a 2018 intel Mac and ALVR a while back.

Apparently that good sound is due to extensive software processing. The asahi devs really want to make a good impression, so they're spending a lot of time tweaking their sound processing to try to match or beat the MacOS quality before release. Which is both good and annoying. I appreciate the attention to detail, but it would be nice to have any speaker support when I just need to hear something quickly.

The graphics drivers are still in active development, but they have OpenGL3.1 support. Vulkan is under development.

I haven't tried games, but have seen some posts where users have them working. I don't think many games are compiled for arm yet though. The graphics dev did a youtube stream back in march where she plays steam games using FEX-Emu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSfFzsU75g
