Kso hopefully you did set one and only forgot
Anot having a password causes a lot of issues in linux
Ayoull need to reinstall probably
Ain fact, that's probably your best choice
Aand easiest choice
SI may have, I know I did at first for my Legion Go, but I took it off
Aalways have a password
CDepending on the Proton version and API the frametime graph craps out, and the AMD energy efficient instructions seemingly don't work
CBut it works
Kif you're on a legion go the password isn't even used unless you
sudo anywayKthere's no reason not to have one
Athe installer should force users to set a password; not having one should never be an option on linux. Same goes for not allowing users to have autologin
CAlso need to install corefonts for Wine games for the fonts to render properly
Awhen im lazy i just set the username and password the same thing
Asince autologin can cause problems too
KI agree
Kif I had full control over anaconda I'd do that
Asad
Acan't fork it and make a change for bazzite?
Ause the fork for bazzite images
Athat's what id do
Kforks are more work for us, we'll revisit it when the WebUI installer is ready
Aooooh webui
Ado we have a preview of the webui installer?
SI didn't keep it because I tend to put my Go to sleep multiple times in a short span because I play it at work when I have free time. Didn't want to have to keep using a password, plus I didn't realize I could bring up the keyboard with one of the left controller rear buttons
KIt's FOSS News
The progress on the new Anaconda web installer looks good. Take a sneak peek.
Adont those devices have a fingerprint reader?
SNo
Kyou don't, deck images don't have a login screen
Ayeah deck images auto login to game mode
Kyou never have to enter your password unless you severely fucked up your install
Abut you still need a password for any and all linux installs unless you know exactly what you're doing
Aalso its just horrible practice to not have a password for anything
Aa linux install without a sudo password is more dangerous than windows xp with no antivirus in 2024
SI have a password on all my stuff normally. Just didn't want to originally on this laptop because I was giving it to my brother
Ateach your brother about the necessity of having a password on everything
SI'm talking about a desktop password?
SSorry if I'm a bit stupid, but I normally do have passwords
SJust didn't want to put on one it because it stays home
Afor bazzite at least, sudo password is the one you set during install
Aif you dont set a password during install, any application can run commands as root with no user input
Athat's not good
Aa linux install without a root password can be remotely ssh'd into without you even knowing
Afor example
Awhich means someone external to you (even far away who just knows your ip) could just
Asudo rm -rf /Aremotely
A(recurssively remove all files in the root filesystem, which would brick your OS)
SI'm sorry, I didn't know, this is the only other time I've attempted to use anything Linux other than the deck
Aeven if you don't care too much about actual security, what passwords do help with is prompting you that something is requesting elevated permissions
