    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.

            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.
