with the recent windows news, I wanna switch to Linux. I tried mint a few years ago and was annoyed and frustrated with multiple things, like having to input the password all the time and the general ammunt of constant trouble shooting and needing a tutorial for the most basic things.

I want a distro that:

  1. Is very user friendly, ideally not requiring a terminal
  2. Is hard to accidentally fuck up
  3. ideally doesn’t require a password for every input

I basically just use my laptop to browse the web, draw in krita and use ms office apps (have been getting used to open office lately)

What do y’all suggest?

    The script would place its own version of sudo in your $PATH and wait for you to enter the password. Then it has it and can do what it likes with the information.

    Then it’d just tell you “wrong password” and forward you to the real sudo so that you can keep on working like nothing happened.

    Edit: Or even better, pass your own commands to take over the whole system to the real sudo.
