gollark: There's probably some window manager thing for single-purpose systems.
gollark: That is a bizarrely long function, though.
gollark: You should make sure it doesn't rebel against humanity or something.
gollark: Passwords at least prevent random people from going up to your computer and doing things.
gollark: My laptop uses linux and full disk encryption, making the password actually mean something.
