XP worked well. Used it long past its best by date.
Yeah there was a site you could still get updates on after windows dropped them. I think it was because atm's used it. I still have an xp comp.
I have no problem with linux except for always having to enter pw. One comp has it but its such a hassle.
Yes, Windows XP Embedded, or POSReady as it was called later on. Got updates for three more years I believe.

You can disable that.
Disclaimer: Not recommended by Linux geeks.
Edit file
/etc/sudoers
Add this to the end
$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
Alternatively you can change the password timeout. Add this to the end of /etc/sudoers file
Defaults timestamp_timeout=5
Will set the password timeout to 5 minutes
Defaults timestamp_timeout=-1
Will set timeout to once per session
Defaults !tty_tickets
Defaults timestamp_timeout=-1
Will make password last until reboot
Use
Defaults:username
To target a specific user (change "username")
Or you can go the PolicyKit route and create new policies
Create a new file
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/disable-passwords.pkla
Add the following (Change "username" to your user name) and save.
[Do anything you want] Identity=unix-user:username Action=* ResultActive=yes
If you don't want to go that extreme you can create policies for just rebooting, app install/update, and/or shutdown.
well first of all you have to know how to do all that shit.
