      Because they don’t work or because they don’t know how to use them anymore? ;)

        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.
