After I installed Linux on all my family laptops all OS problems was "surprisingly" desapeared.
"How do I connect to my printer?"
Cups
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
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.
