You centrally manage all linux devices, controlling what users can (and can't) do on their company-issued linux machines?
And you can keep them configured in a certain way (re-setting them back to your company policy as needed)?
And you can remotely push software, make some of it brain-dead, and uninstall it at will from your centralized system?
All this without needing ssh or logging into each system individually?
And you've been doing that for almost 20 years?
Tell me more.

Ever hear of configuration management?
SysConf
cfengine
Satellite/Spacewalk
Ansible
Just to name a few...
There's also LTSP if you want to go that route
Plenty of bread crumb trails there for you to start following and researching.
