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.
This /really/ depends on your threat model. “xyz software in their home directory” could easily be “exfil tool that uploads all data employee X has access too, disguised as a meme template generator”
