I’ve started to collect good computers that are stuck on Windows 10 that are being discarded. I want to put Linux on them and give them away to less fortunate people in need of a computer. It would be easier if user names and passwords were not part of the install process but part of the first boot after installation. What distros should I look at?

    Silverblue and other distros like it fix this by not changing the running system. The pending update just becomes the running system on next boot.

      yeah, but they use immutable system images that you can’t change even if you wanted to. KDE’s update system is integrated with a systemd component that does the installation after a reboot, I think nowadays that’s the best of both worlds
