planning for xubuntu

the first thing i will want to do after a full fresh install of xubuntu 20.04 (a while after it comes out) is create a few (about 25) users.  this is done by command line in the xubuntu/xfce world?  if so, is this because of how light weight it is?

Re: planning for xubuntu

I think the appropiate tool would be newusers: https://linux.die.net/man/8/newusers

Description and example here:

Some times there will be a requirement for adding multiple users on servers. Using adduser/useradd command we can not create multiple user accounts in one shot. We can write a shell script to do this. But there is no need to write a script for this. There is an inbuilt Linux command called newusers which is used to create multiple users in batch mode.
