Hey Fedi (and especially people like @ManjaroARM and @linmob), I have a new question for you!
I'm looking for a way to (somewhat) separate system installation and user account configuration on #Linux.
I would want to have something like in the preinstalled #KDE images on #Pinephone, where you can set your username and password upon first boot.
Use case is preinstalling Linux on a laptop while letting the user configure their account themselves upon first boot.
Alright, thanks to @ManjaroARM I now know the relevant keyword for what I want to do : having user configuration on first boot is done via an install in OEM mode! (for "original equipment manufacturer")
That enabled me to find out that some #Linux distributions already allow that:
- Fedora is apparently OEM by default now https://dev.to/gevera/installing-fedora-34-with-gnome-40-1fcd
- Ubuntu https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/oem
- LinuxMint https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oem.html
You might think I am biased for saying this ;)
But #PureOS OEM version also allows to do that:
