Clonezilla for Linux deployment?

[Linux Fossman]

Hi everyone.

We have 16 identical PCs in our school's computer lab. I'd like to install Linux on them all. One is already running Pop!_OS for a few months without the students even realizing it's not Windows :)

I'd like to clone the installation for deployment on the rest of the machines with the same configuration, including the browser and DE set up.

Would Clonezilla be the correct tool for the job?

If yes, then is there a guide I could follow please?

I really do not want to install and configure the remaining 15 machines one at a time... Would appreciate any useful advice.

Thanks.

Sure. This is what Clonezilla for. You can refer to these docs:
https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php#make
https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php
For massive deployment, it's easier to use Clonezilla lite server:
https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server
and there is a special one for massive deployment without any image:
