I run a small business and would like to use Linux for its free naturet. Is there a way to lock down linux using software or a whole distro that would prevent people from doing pretty much anything other than opening a web browser similar to Windows or ChromeOS. I would use ChromeOS, had it not been made by Google as I am not super keen on using something made by big tech.

Edit: This would be for employees and is exclusively about endpoint security, mot enforcing staying on task.

    If you’re looking for a pure kiosk experience check out porteus kiosk, it’s a very stripped down distro that lets you choose Firefox or chrome and by default uses private browsing.

    I’m sure if you need a whole desktop experience that’s also possible but i don’t know how

      Porteus is cool. I messed around with it when trying to set up an idiot proof browsing pc for a relative.
