@gsuberland I agree. And related to that, people often talk about liking Windows because of familiarity. Part of the argument is that using Windows at home and at work probably makes people better in both places. Frankly (a) I think the average person is less familiar than they think they are (Dunning-Krueger), and (b) this point you make: Microsoft is frequently taking actions that make one less familiar with Windows than they were.
@paco I personally use it because it can run the things I want to run, and Linux can't do that. for everything else, I'm on FreeBSD.

Car model and licence plate is a good 10-12 character p/w.
And, though not practical as a user p/w, passphrases are handy to remember.
Edward Snowden's password for his Wikileaks files was;
"MargaretThatcheris100%sexy".
He figured noone would ever come-up with that phrase.

Yes. I understood your original post. Hilarious.
My post was simply a suggested alternative to using specific words.
Just relax ok.
Its a public place, people are allowed to add things they find interesting.

You are not doing ANYTHING wrong. Whatever works for you.
However, I use 50-60 character passphrases for really important things and, at that length, they are just not practical for user p/w's, particularly in CLI environments.
That's all I meant.

@avoca Sorry. Yeah, I was a bit gruff. I've been in infosec for 25 years. I have heard every conversation that can be heard about passwords, passphrases, passkeys, and all the other pass-stuff. You can't know that. There's no reason for me to be grouchy at you. Sorry.

@paco sadly, I think there's nothing to do about Apex: https://www.protondb.com/app/1172470

@paco For Apex, I’m afraid the game include an anticheat at kernel level on Windows which makes it now impossible to run on Linux. Same for League of Legends.
My advise is to keep a Windows partition just for those online games

@lenny Yeah, that's not an option. My son is not going to reboot into entirely different operating systems (and keep both of them up-to-date) just to change what game he's playing. I don't blame him.
He plays online with friends, not alone. Of course he doesn't want to say "hang on, mate, I need to reboot my PC into Windows and then we can play..."
He's got a Mac for doing anything important, and his PC for playing games. I think that's the best I can do.
