Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can set it up so that it doesn't require a password, but of course it isn't a good practice. I was using a Fedora distro on one of my laptops that didn't ask for a password out of the box. You needed a pw to log in but not for updates. It made me uneasy.
Yeah, I didn't even get to say that I could change it (though I don't recommend it) before she wanted to throw the whole thing out for not being "user friendly" enough.
