Is it possible to get around this with user agent spoofing? Or maybe degoogled Chromium?
It is possible to make the website think I am using chrome and windows, but I don't want to get in trouble for cheating. Even if I use degoogle Chromium it still won't allow me because I use Linux.

Some of them will detect if using virtualization. For example http://safeexambrowser.org/ by ETH Zurich
Ironically enough, it is free software https://github.com/SafeExamBrowser
You can figure out the checks and make your own patches to Qemu.
