Looking for distro that doesn't require authentication for nearly every action.
by Windrush from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D54S)
Strange title.
I have been attempting to learn Linux for quite a while. I have a lot of candles on my birthday cakes, so learning new things is sometimes a struggle. I am quite comfortable with Windows. I am not ready to disclose the current distro that I am using; however, I would like to find one that does not require the incessant authentication. Please do not tell me about security & blah, blah, blah, etc. I know the risks. I do not desire to login as Root, I just want to be left alone to move around, check for updates, look at files--in short, to use my computer the way I want to without continually being required to play "Mother may I?". Is that too much to ask?
If someone knows of a distro that sounds like what I am searching for, please let me know.
Thanks, so much.
