I don't. I don't even have an account password for my windows machine. I want whoever has my laptop to have access to my PC so he can use it - in the hope that I will gather enough information about him and I will track him down to recover my laptop.
If the pc is fully encrypted, they'll have to erase the HDD and the programs I installed will be gone along with my chances of ever recovering it. On the other hand, I adopted the same behavior for my linux laptop and I'm not sure it's wise, the chances of someone continuing to use it are slim at best.
- dvndvn 10y agoI see some merit in your argument. I have a little more take on this. Leave a password free account and have a password based account also. It allows the stealer to use computer without hindrance and also protects your data from casual thieves at workplace.
- mod 10y agoI set up my non-techie dad with an ubuntu install, and it has been less tech-support effort on my part. Give the people a chrome/firefox icon on the desktop, and they'll use linux without knowing the difference.
