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.

    There are several Linux distributions specifically made for “kiosk” type applications. I don’t have any specific ones to suggest, but if you search “Linux distro for kiosk” that should return plenty of results. Might be easier to use one of those to suit your needs than modifying a normal distro like Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc
