Hey everyone! We’re thrilled to introduce Linux kiosk mode, giving you more control over Linux devices in shared or public environments. With these features, you can now lock down your Linux devices to either a single app or a curated set of apps – ensuring security, focus, and a smooth user experience. Let’s take a look:

Single app kiosk mode for Linux

Keep devices dedicated to just one task. Perfect for public terminals or devices designed for a single purpose. With this feature you can,

  • Restrict devices to a single desktop application.
  • Prevent access to system settings and unauthorized apps.

Multi-app kiosk mode for Linux

Need users to access more than one application but still keep things secure? Multi-app kiosk mode has you covered. With this feature you can,

  • Limit devices to a specific set of desktop applications.
  • Automatically restore app shortcuts on the desktop if they’re deleted.

With these kiosk modes, you can confidently deploy Linux devices in customer-facing areas, info kiosks, or shared spaces – all while reducing risks and keeping devices laser-focused on their purpose. And there’s even more you can do with Linux kiosk modes to streamline device management and keep endpoints secure. Check out our help docs to get started:

  1. Set up Linux single app kiosk
  2. Set up Linux multi-app kiosk
