I’ve been 100% on Linux for several years now and I don’t miss Windows at all in any aspect.

But in my opinion, there is one thing that Windows does significantly better than Linux, kiosk mode.

I wish Linux had something similar. All the solutions I’ve been able to find are far more complex and technical to implement and use.

If anybody has suggestions for something that’s easy to use on Linux that works similar to Windows kiosk mode, I’d love to try it.

    It’s not quite a few clicks, but this can in contrast also be fully automated trivially if it’s something you need to setup more than once.
