The host PCs are pretty restrictive and have no admin privileges. The VM is fully capable of being "free to mess with" in a sense. The idea behind it is to prevent unauthorized bad actions on the host pc. Creating a separation of students' abilities behind a vm. You can use your own PC, but that is cumbersome and unnecessary. The "forced to" is a bit loose, but it helps students start from a state where the teacher can help guide the students to what to do. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com -15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Good thing you're not a teacher then!
