Are there any good (or at least acceptable) #mdm providers/solutions for #linux that work on #Ubuntu derivatives like #LinuxMint that also aren't US based?
sorry to chime in with & question & not an answer to your question:
What does MDM mean in the context of computers? I'm looking at a used laptop that says "MDM enabled: No" & I don't know if that's good or bad. I have tried searches but those letters mean a lot of things. I plan to buy a used laptop for Linux.
"MDM enabled: No" likely means the computer isn't tied to an organization on the hardware level, allowing you to use it in any way you want. If it said "yes" chances are it's stolen or from a company that went under.
Computer MDMs are generally a lot more invasive than smartphone MDMs, allowing for extensive monitoring. If you value your privacy, which we all should, don't use corporate computers for personal stuff, and never install a company MDM on your private computer.
