First, welcome to Linux. This is going to be a journey.

Imagine you decided that instead of buying a car at a dealership, you would rather have full control over every aspect of the vehicle, so you ordered a kit... and it arrived in a box that said "some assembly required". You can't just turn the key and make it go.

Linux is different from Windows in many ways... one of those ways is that admin changes that could affect your computer are blocked by the password. This is one of the main security features of Linux. You could conceivably disable this feature, but everyone here will tell you not to.

You will have to learn new ways of thinking about how an operating system works, and what is asked of you as the user. I would suggest doing some reading or watching some basic Youtube tutorials on Linux just to get the feel for it. Good luck!

Well, like Adblock from applications.

That's what you want, security. Nothing gets by until you say it does. The system waits for your permission, password first . Don't you want to be secure or not?

Generally on a Debian based system you'll have 3 password instances.
First is login for you .User Bobb@MX19. passwd= XYPDF. This can be rounded out with auto login by checking that box on installation or in MXtools.You'll also need it when logging in to the desktop after logging out rather than shut down or restart.

#2 is the keyring passwd which you are asked upon installation or opening of some things like Chrome or Chromium.
I auto-login as user( since I'm the only one on this machine) with a fast and super easy to type user passwd .LKJUIO9 or SHIIT44 or something similar
I do the same for that idiotic keyring. Something like DAWG77 or Dude01 is fine.

Last is a root password
Root is where the security lies. You want something somewhat complicated Wife&Dog&YourFullName&SC15982&454Chev
You'll need this using su or sudo in a terminal, running synaptic,mx package installer, gparted and other important things where screwups arent allowed.

Well, like Adblock from applications.

... In this case, you can also use first : block-advert.sh via the terminal (need first the root password too) ... and after, the plugin for your web browser.

Code: Select all

su root
block-advert.sh
exit
