Linux CLI Enrollment via no authentication?

We got a new bunch of Linux devices in our company which we’re looking to enroll in Hexnode. I’ve heard that Linux devices can be enrolled into Hexnode pretty easily via CLI without any authentication. Can anyone confirm if this is possible?

Clear browser cache on Linux devices

Hi, does anyone know how I can clear the browser cache on Linux devices? The browsers on Linux devices are facing some performance issues, and I’ve heard that clearing the cache in the browsers would be a good idea. I'm a bit of a newbie here, so if anyone can offer some wisdom, it’d be great!

Linux kiosk mode in Hexnode

Hey everyone, we are trying something a bit different at our schools, we are looking to roll out Linux devices to students instead of the usual Chromebooks. I know it's not the typical choice, but we're exploring new options. Anyone here used kiosk mode on Linux, and how to configure it?

KDE vs i3

I was switching between KDE and i3 on my Linux laptop and what the hell. Why does Kde feel like a full office setup, and i3 feels like a blank workspace with just windows stacked neatly? Aren’t they both just “desktops”? I don’t get why there is such a huge difference.

Can Hexnode be used to manually push an update of an app out to a group of Linux devices?

Hi all. We've got a bunch of Linux devices in our computer lab, and one of our enterprise apps just got an update. Is there a way to push that new version out to all devices at once using Hexnode?

What exactly are linux distros?

I’ve been setting up a few linux devices lately, and I keep seeing terms like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint. They all say “Linux”, so what’s the real difference? Aren’t they basically the same thing under the hood?

I get that they’re different package managers, but I’m curious on what are the actual differences with respect to their real-world use? Is one better than the other, or does both…

Package managers?

Hey everyone, I’ve been getting deeper into Linux lately and keep hearing about “package managers” and how important they are. I get the basic idea that they help install and update software but I’d love a clearer picture of how they actually work and why they’re such a big deal in the Linux world. Also,…
