We have some PC with accounts that are shared by several users (in this case pupils). I'd like to restrict the things they can configure on the desktop environment. E.g. they should not be able to change desktop background image etc.
Is this somehow possible in xfce and / or mate (using linux mint)?
I guess I could remove write access to some config files - but for which ones? (I found that there is ~/.config/xfce4
.
I would expect that the DE needs write access to some file to function properly.
~/.config/xfce4
. If xfce does need write access to a file, you could just overwrite it with a default version upon login/logout. Have you tried removing write permissions yet?
