What are some of the easiest ways for a beginner to make their system untable when they start tinkering with it?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a
syncoption in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with
passwd.Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.
My thought as well. Maybe sync was in default configuration or I just copy pasted it without reading.
Long story short, I have no idea if system user passwords and sama user passwords are the same thing, how to set them up (if they are not the same), or how to make samba use same user accounts and passwords (so that I don't have to remember one more password). So I just gave up.
I was trying to do everything according to arch wiki, but either samba is overcomplicated for no reason, or the article is just not written well.
