    I have this exact problem when I have to manage Apple devices for work. Nothing that user agent switcher can’t fix.

      Pearson is a testing company. They use all sorts of sketchy shit under the guise of anti-cheating. Much of that requires specific plug-ins and stuff that only work in Windows.

      Even if you could get it working, but they’ll likely just say you were cheating, and take the $300+ you paid to take that required test.

        Pearson using all sorts of extremely invasive and questionable kernel-level access plugins to make sure people don’t open notes to cheat on their test on their computer. People just open their notes on another device. Or, you know, paper.

    I mean, if somebody calls Linux an operating system, they definitely should not be working as an IT professional

      What you are referring to as “Linux” is actually “Firefox/Linux” or, as I’ve recently taken to calling it, “Firefox+Linux”. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Firefox web browser made useful by the systemd components, Sway shell and other vital non-GNU software comprising a full web browsing experience as defined by the internet standards.
