I tried to install I think Ubuntu for my parents. I failed to find a way to properly allow short/simple passwords after like 2 hours of fiddling with configs. Gave up on it after that.

You shouldn't be allowing that to be honest. You also shouldn't be using Ubuntu especially for new users.

Well, its between allowing that and not using Linux at all so that is that. If I could get them to remeber a strong password, it would not be for PC login.

What distro would you recommend? I was under the impression Ubuntu was furthest with UIs.

I would recomment Mint to users who use their Computer for more than just Webbrowsing. If its just webbrowsing and you know Linux, try setting up Fedora silverblue. In my vm's two digit passwords work.
