Waack in German actually means prince or “crown holder”. He’s indeed the monarch of the city council, thus overseeing the infrastructure and so on.
Mathias means Messiah. It’s the “crown holding saviour”. And a lot of people actually see him like that even though it’s an ancient title and - nowadays - basically meaningless.
That’s interesting. Genuinely interested in how you can have desktop Linux pcs managed as effectively. I would love it if institutions in the U.S use Linux for their desktops.
You could configure certain DEs in a kiosk mode. I don’t know much about it, but it reset the session and user to a default at every log off, he could track usage time, do all sorts of remote session management.
If you search for Linux for classrooms there are probably a couple projects still around.
I’m sorry, I didn’t go into it back then. And we’re talking like 15 years ago. He doesn’t even own the cafe anymore (what with smart phones and all), was a repair tech for a while, and now I don’t know, we lost touch.
Contact Mathias Waack. He can probably give you plenty of resources.

Back in the day, a friend of mine used to run a cyber cafe with Linux machines in kiosk mode. He said the management was very hassle free.
There’s some hidden kiosk mode?

That’s so cool. What kind of remote management does he use?

Any thoughts about doing the same for Canada, Trudeau?
