I was forced to use Windows at school when I was already using Linux at home for about 2 years. So what do you think I should've done here?

Well sometimes you don't get to use the tech you want. I almost never get the use the tech I want on a project, It is normally chosen for me by someone else and I have to live with their decisions.

People like to pretend that being required to use to use a Windows machine is akin to water-boarding or some other awful imposition.

I don't want to use Windows. I won't work for anybody that forces me to use Windows. I can choose where to work. Children are forced to go to school, it is obligatory. That's why it is not okay to force children in schools to use Windows.

Computers for children are used for convenience or to solve problems. Neither of which requires Windows, or any other vendor-specific platform.

It's neither justified nor necessary to force children to use Windows or any other specific operating system in school.
