That's a bad take, there will always be people who will say we can never afford it. The real question should be 'can we afford not to' as people live and die in miserable conditions.
I tipped him well
I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be sarcasm, but if not you were encouraging his bad behaviour.
So what is your suggestion for a viable alternative that auditors will also accept?
I’m surprised that no one has commented on the Mastodon post’s author recommending people ‘use a privacy concious browser like Chrome’. What a way to invalidate her arguments
I don't have a better answer for OP, but telling them to switch distros is also not answering their question at all.
I would highly recommend against installing a pirated version of Windows like BearOfATime suggests (at least via the second link he provided) - it could cause trouble for both you and your school.
Love their ‘terms of service’ and complete lack of privacy policy (at least for me, the link is not showing any policy). Whoever pays for this nonsense gets what they deserve.
Sounds like it's better for you to ask now so you can decline the job if they're a Windows only shop.
The day Discord dies will be a massive loss for the internet.
What loss will that be? Discord's value is the same as MSN Messenger - the history on Discord is already unusable for resolving issues, so when it's gone people will just move to the next real-time communication platform that fills the same gap. It's not a forum that people can search and find answers on years after discussions have happened and solutions have been posted.
One thing I would recommend is using a note taking app to create snippets of fixes or personalization changes for your OS that you've made. For me that includes things like how to add my laptop's webcam to the blacklist and other things that I'd need to spend time looking up since I don't do them that often.

How about grammar errors?
With PowerShell on Linux you’d never run dnf starting with Invoke-Expression. It’s completely unnecessary.
This feels like you either legitimately don’t know how it works so are assuming, or are making it more complicated on purpose to make bash look ‘better’.
I’m not saying PowerShell should be used on Linux over bash, but your example is not a good one.
