You can run Barrier (fork of Synergy) on your personal laptop, where it would be installed as the server, and then on the work laptop you can just run it as a regular user, as long as the firewall allows it (no install needed)

I don't disagree you, the world at large has broken systems, either by design or neglect.
Now, although I also agree with that fighting only personal causes is treating a symptom and not the root cause, you're hand waving the very real problem of motivation. People are tribal by nature, and will want to protect themselves and those around them.
As for removing that "handful of sources" at the top? Which sources are those, and how do you fix them?
Reading between the lines here, you're essentially saying "see these deeply entrenched systems that have been perpetuated for hundreds/thousands of years? Just remove them." - It's not that simple by design.
Again, my point was that I do not fault people for putting their efforts into personal causes, not that this was the best way to solve the world's problems at large.
Most people want equality, justice, freedom and peace for all. I choose to believe that, at least.
It's a very difficult thing to just fight the entire state of the world, instead it's a much more achievable (and realistic) thing to fight for what affects your immediate group. I don't see anything wrong with that.
You can download whatever ISO you want, and then once installed use the activation script that actually generates a legitimate activation with Microsoft.
No sketchy cracks or keygens needed.
Assuming the laptops both run Windows?
