Windows has gotten even WORSE lately. Even though I have Windows 10 set to not install or even download updates without asking, I sometimes get a pop-up saying “we are adding new features, please wait” out of nowhere 🤬
In related news, I’ve installed Zorin OS on my laptop and hope to one day use it on my desktop that I play pirated games on…
Speaking of, is there any way to change settings so that the login password can be just a short pin i stead of the strong-ish password demanded by default?
Since I never leave it unattended (and rarely even use it) in public I don’t really need the security against in-person unauthorized use and since I mostly use my laptop for streaming, typing a password every time I start up is a hassle I’d rather avoid…
While some distros let you choose short passwords, most of them don’t nowadays. However, you can still change your user’s password despite to this. Just open terminal, type sudo passwd username, type your desired password and enter. This way you can even use one character passwords, you really shouldn’t though.
