@adamsdesk @rasteri not that there's anything wrong with #MultiSeat - Setups:

Not to mention these are way more fiddly than #OpenThinclient or #PorteusKiosk when it comes to setup and maintenance, whereas a #ThinClient is easy to add as demand grows...

Porteus Kiosk (https://porteus-kiosk.org) nutzen wir schon seit ein paar Jahren für Kiosk-PCs und unser "Fahrgastfernsehen". Es ist auch ok, dass es jetzt ein paar Euronen kosten (20% Discount für Educational).

Nun guck ich gerade noch mal etwas ernsthafter bei Porteus Desktop (https://www.porteus.org). Das modulare Konzept ist sehr nett. Mal sehen, ob ein LDAP-Login relativ einfach zu ergänzen ist

Porteus Kiosk - linux based kiosk software for web terminals.

Porteus Kiosk is a locked down linux operating system for public access computers. It is fast small and secure.

... but I want to get a solid foundation with @OS1337 that can be used for like a #ThinClient-based #OS similar to #PorteusKiosk which sadly went down the #subscription-only #paywall...

Ich finde #ChromeOS eine schlechte #Govware und würde eher die Zeit und Mühe investieren #UbuntuLTS oder #PorteusKiosk & #Nextcloud aufzusetzen und Leuten zeigen wie diese ihre #Android-Apps unter #Waydroid nutzen können als dass ich denen ne verapplianced Lösung hinpacke die weder #DSGVO noch #BDSG konform sein kann!

As an alternative: https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage

Or #porteuskiosk if your use case is simpler.

@the_moep Again: I've not tested / used / installed it yet so I can't formulate an educated opinion beyond: "Will keep it in mind as an option" ...

  • I don't want to discount it, I'm just very wary of recommendations, as those have backfired on me, with #PorteusKiosk currently sadly "#Enshittifying" in a #grsecurity /#RedHat - Style by subsequently #paywalling even the most basic functionality and me having just gotten confirmation that basic functions like "#diskless clients" have been silently axed.
@DarkMetatron Habe selbst sowas deployed - früher #OpenThinclient aber heute würde ich #PorteusKiosk stattdessen deployen...

@robobox well, if a modern #Linux like @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS is too straining consider something like @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux or #PorteusKiosk or #TinyCore instead?

Personally I'm working on a minimalist #TUI-focussed #toybox + #musl / Linux distro called "OS/1337" with the current goal to make a MVP that fits on a 1440kB 3,5" FDD!

And whilst @OS1337 isn't nearly as close to release-able, I dp recommend the aforementioned #Distros instead as they should allow you to still use even a low-end #T60 configuration productively.

@jackyan @stevendbrewer @Melissabeartrix np.

And for something like a #Library, #PorteusKiosk is an option if one doesn't want to do a complex #OpenThinclient setup instead.

Tho you can also #netboot Porteus Kiosk which is easier to maintain than discontinued #Windows + #SteadyState:
