Windows 11 is so bad people are "downgrading" to windows 10. Looks like MS has another "Windows XP" problem.

From the post:

>Last month, Statcounter reported a notable decrease in Windows 11's market share, and the trend continued in April 2024. After reaching its all-time high of 28.16% in February 2024, Windows 11 plummeted below the 26% mark. According to Statcounter, in April 2024, Windows 11 lost 0.97 points, going down from 26.68% to 25.65%. All those users seemingly went for Windows 10 since the OS, which will soon turn nine, crossed the 70% mark for the first time since September 2023, gaining 0.96 points.

I have no problem with linux except for always having to enter pw.

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.

I hear ya. Linux can be tough to wrap your head around at first. First thing I would do if I were you (coming from personal experience) is learn how to make a backup image of your system. Once you have a backup, you can begin experimenting. If something breaks and can't be fixed just restore the image.
