>If you want to make the year of the Linux desktop happen by letting normies use it, at least make the experience for the people administering those machines simple
Dicking around with ssh while I'm possibly not even on the same network (remote desktop exists), or dicking around with PAM is not simple in any definition of the word. No idea what is so hard to understand about a GUI prompt asking you for an administrator's password instead of the user's being simple and easy to use.
