Or to be more general, using obscure software for increased security, over actually correctly configuring and using secure software.

Viruses already exist for Linux and have for a long time. They are less prevalent than Windows but this obviously shouldn't be the primary defense strategy for your device.

God the school's response is so sleazy and unapologetic

On the occasion I’ve rushed into an Aldi 30 minutes before closing, they have that too
