What I would do is, onece I got linux installed in few computers like 2 or 3 is enough, get a good virus and infect the rest of the computers and cause them downtime and data loss.

Advantages:

#1. You can show that the computers running linux doesnt get those viruses.
#2. Use linux to recover data from infected mechines.

This method is not recomended and should not take action

Intentionally damaging a computer system or network is a crime in most jurisdictions. Please do not even joke about this!!!

its only a crime if its not expected, if the owners of the computer say yes u can test it out , then you are free to do so, just make sure its not conected to the internet, cuse speareding viruses is a crime

and if ya want peopleto use linux, just get it so you can have at elast 1 linux comp for each computer lab/ libary, only people who know how to use linux comps would get the advantages of not risking there projects being deleting when the computer frezes
