    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.

        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’ve found that OpenSuse Tumbleweed is better than both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

          They set out to make a distro that is kept up to date perpetually instead of managing different versions.

            Hmmm, I had mint for a little bit once. I don’t remember having any issues with it which probably means it is good. Paradoxically it also made me forget about it somewhat.

            But I really have an urge to try NixOS for myself… And I don’t really want to mess with my parents setup now.
