minus-square@RCKLSSBNDN@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink11•1 year agoI 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.

minus-square@dustojnikhummer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoI mean live ISOs don’t have login passwords so it must be doable for a full install
minus-square@areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilink1•1 year agoActually 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.
minus-square@dustojnikhummer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoAt 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
minus-square@areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilink1•1 year agoSome definitely do, interesting to see mint dosen’t.
