TL;DR: How would you deploy a maintainable Linux build to 14 PCs?

I have a lab network of 14 PCs at $dayjob. I want them all to have the same Linux build/image, with the same apps - (probably) Plasma, VirtualBox, LibreOffice, Packet Tracer (so JRE as well) as the basics, plus various other tools.

If the users mess up the machine somehow, they need to be easily re-imaged. It would be nice if /home could optionally be preserved, but not essential.

I am currently the most Linux-savvy person in the team that will be looking after these PCs. I'm not there all the time, so this needs to be maintainable by techies who don't daily drive Arch.

I know #Ansible could be a good option, meaning I have some flexibility with which distro. (I am open to different distros for this.) #Nix or #NixOS could also work, but the learning curve for that could be pretty steep (for me - steeper for the rest of the team), plus its non-standard approach to Linux might be confusing for some.

I guess some solution using a PXE boot and then an auto-deployed script or definition file?
