    This looks really close to what I need. I manage a few laptops for a non-profit. For now, it is all done by hand, since I haven't found a good solution for Linux and I will kill myself before using Windows and Intune again.

    I would love to see configurations for Linux Mint's Cinnamon. Is there a way to execute custom scripts? How does the user mapping work exactly? Could I create a user in Authentik with a laptop-permission and this would map to a Linux user account?

    Nonetheless, this is really great work so far, and if you keep it as nice and tidy as it currently looks, then you might make a nice niche for yourself. I can't wait to try it out.

      Would ansible meet some or all of your needs?

        That's what I thought as well, I manage a small (50-ish) fleet of Linux Desktops using Ansible. Not perfect, but good enough that it mostly gets the job done.
