Disable persistence on HDD install (public pc)












0















I've created a Ubuntu based environment for a public pc. Now I want to be able to prevent users from saving any changes (including 3rd party apication data such as office documents or browser data).



Is there a way to lock the user from making these changes, or better yet restore the system to default on shutdown.



All I can find are ways to disable persistence on a usb
