Hi @Javier_Juarez ,
What do you mean by "worse conditions", you mean from another laptop? If so, yes it's a bit less convenient but still doable. Fortunately for you, it seems that you haven't tried an exam on a big Koala laptop with different keyboard locale than yours :D.
Yes, Remote Exams are an option, there are others. Some exams center might have reopened during this pandemic crisis and it's probably possible to attend there physically now (depends on each regions, each location). In my case going to a center implies a 6h journey on the exam day (return included) and quite significant additional cost. Even to the point that from 2-3 exams, it would be worthier to buy a simple laptop just for that, instead of paying the transport. Maybe it's different for you.
It's a shame about Linux unable to run on latest implementations of Apple's hardware. Apparently MAC issue are due to the new T2 chipset which blocks any OS except Apple's from booting. I researched a bit the topic, another problem is that the related code is not made public and therefore it's hard for the open source community to get a workaround.
In this rather old article, from 2018, someone says it's actually possible to boot in macOS recovery to disable some of the T2 related features:
apple-t2-chip-cant-boot-linux
Note: it's rather old and I found other article which are saying that only works for other MAC OS and Windows, and not Linux. Maybe don't get too much hope :)
I do not own any Apple's hardware, feel free to research on the topic and see if it's actually possible to bypass that added security?
(PS: Even if one workaround the T2 chipset issue, it's possible that some other hardware are not well recognised/working, please manage any expectations accordingly).
