Well, conda then. Or, read on... Tell them to run apt-get now and then, cause it's their job then, to ensure you can smoothly do research :-) (chances are they'll give up and give you root---or not) I ignore my IT support, and install whatever OS I want on university-owned machines :-) Once in a while I get emails about "software audits" which I blissfully ignore... YMMV, of course. By the way, at the moment a perfectly good refurbished Thinkpad costs about $200-$300.
