   Okay. My last OpenSUSE was 13.2 and I don't remember how I set it up 10   
   years ago.

   That could be a problem although for most people the Linux box is single   
   user anyway.   
      
   A more realistic scenario is the Makespace laptops the library converted   
   to Linux Mint. There has to be at least one person to administer the   
   machines. However the laptops are used by the kids for Arduino programming   
   and other projects so there has to be another user that is not in the sudo   
   group.  I don't think each kid gets their own login although that may be a   
   problem in the long run. The Arduino IDE saves the sketches in /home/user/   
   Arduino and added libraries in /home/user/.arduino15.
