My WiFi doesn't work on older kernel or is it already. I had to switch to fedora due to that. But zorin felt much better to use.
For what reasons did you switch from Mint to Zorin?
Left work, and was able to keep my Dell Precision 5570. Running ZorinOS 18 on this beast ! Full charge runtime, roughly 8hrs. Which is pretty awesome for a 20 core i7 with an A2000 8GB gpu, 32 GB RAM.
I love my THinkpad P1 Gen 1 maxed out with Zorin also. But having the newer Alder Lake i7, is very nice.
Today I tried changing my password and got annoyed at all the set requirements it had to meet to be accepted. The one I had set when installing Zorin didn't meet those and was still allowed but now I wasn't allowed to modify freely as I wish.
So I got into the terminal and tried changing (things like minlen and dictcheck). But after running a few commands I started getting an error message every time the terminal asked for my password. I went to the settings and typed it there, it also wasn't correct. The new password I was trying to set isn't either. Obviously I made sure the caps locks are not turned on and I was typing correctly.
I'm certain at no point did I enter any other password than these two (the old one I had, and the new one I was trying to set) and both aren't working.
Help I'm so confused
