   Hello Vincent,

    VC> Simple fix - Install your fav. Linux distro :)   
      
   My mother and I have actually been discussing that as of late.  The two    
   programs she uses are Firefox and Thunderbird.  When I explained to her that I    
   could move her FF and TB profiles over to a Linux install without any loss of    
   productivity, she commented that she "saw no need to use Windows anymore".     
   Her older but still very reliable HP commercial color laser printer is    
   well-supported via HPLIP and CUPS.  Windows keeps breaking it.   
      
   We'll see where this goes.  Converting her computer from W10 to Devuan Linux    
   is going to take some effort.   
      
   My dad will have to stay on Windows.  Due to physical disability, he uses    
   Dragon Professionally Speaking for speech-to-text capability and there's no    
   good alternative for that under Linux.   
      
   My mother is more "computer savvy" than my dad but my dad has tramautic brain    
   injury from being hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 MPH in 2003 so it is    
   hard for him to learn and retain new skills anymore and even old skills can be    
   very shaky at times.

    VC>  password at log in ?   
      
   It is a local setting but I can't figure out where it is being toggled on and    
   off at.
