b. Account details
i. Username – use lowercase throughout.
ii. Machine name – this automatically picks up the hardware name e.g., Dell- Latitude-600-Zorin – change this to a simpler name, preferably not in capitals and one word – just as in Windows to avoid issues with ‘hyphenated’ computer names in respect of networking to other machines.
iii. DON’T encrypt your /home folder – you could potentially lose all your data, just like in Windows.
iv. DON’T select ‘autologin’ - you will create problems for yourself later down the line, with possible ‘login loop’ bug.
