I haven’t really used Linux, but I feel it might be useful for a potential project. Is it possible, and how doable is it, to have a password locked admin account and an open user account which is heavily restricted on what they can do? As in, not even browse files. Preferrably only desktop access where they can launch the apps placed there. Which Linux would be the best for this while still being on the easier side to figure out? I do understand tech somewhat well and quite enjoy problem solving, so doesn’t need to be ELI5 territory.

    From past experiences, the worst I’m expecting is kids that think they know what hacking is because of some whacky Tiktok or Youtube video they saw. So there may be some intention to mess with things, it’s just not very likely they truly know what they’re doing. There won’t be internet involved, hopefully.

    I like the idea of a separate container or the like, will need to look into it, thanks.

      If it’s not connected to the internet, that certainly does take away a significant cause of problems. Good luck
