Because they don't work or because they don't know how to use them anymore? ;)

No one's opened their laptop in months, not a single issue to fix, that's what we call problem solving!

I can only imagine the shit show that would commence if I put Linux on my mom's laptop

Mom sms: It's asking for permissions again, I forgot my password!

Me: It's in the notebook, mom.

Mom: I can't find the notebook!

Me: Last I saw it, it was on the coffee table.

Mom: Found it!

...

Mom: It doesn't work!

Me: Are you looking at the brown notebook or the pink one?

Mom: Yes!

Me: Yes what? Are you in?

Mom: Yes, I have a notebook and the password doesn't work!

Repeat forever.

You could disable admin password. I know you can do it for sudo by editing sudeors file, so there must be a way to do it for graphical prompts too.

I mean live ISOs don't have login passwords so it must be doable for a full install

[-] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Actually they do, it's just set to login automatically on boot. If you manually log out you have to enter a password to login again.

I was talking about disabling sudo password rather than login password anyway.

At least the Mint live ISO doesn't have password. When you lock the OS there, you don't enter a password and just press Enter to log back in. At least I think it was the Mint ISO

Some definitely do, interesting to see mint dosen't.
