Computrace/absolute is a literal rootkit
Well maybe it's time to switch to a OS that does what the user wants.
It does do what the user wants. Your employer owns your work PC and is the ultimate user, not you.
Yeah I'm sure employers are clamoring to switch to an OS that lets their employees do whatever they want with their machines.
You can put whatever OS you want on the machine once it's yours.
