Well, its between allowing that and not using Linux at all so that is that. If I could get them to remeber a strong password, it would not be for PC login.

What distro would you recommend? I was under the impression Ubuntu was furthest with UIs.

I've found that OpenSuse Tumbleweed is better than both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

They set out to make a distro that is kept up to date perpetually instead of managing different versions.

I would recomment Mint to users who use their Computer for more than just Webbrowsing. If its just webbrowsing and you know Linux, try setting up Fedora silverblue. In my vm's two digit passwords work.

I don't know if something changed but you can use even 4 digits now.

Ubuntu has turned to garbage in recent years because of canonical. It also looks more like mac than Windows.

Try Linux Mint.

Hmmm, I had mint for a little bit once. I don't remember having any issues with it which probably means it is good. Paradoxically it also made me forget about it somewhat.

But I really have an urge to try NixOS for myself... And I don't really want to mess with my parents setup now.

Yeah I can understand not wanting to mess with something that works
