Every single time I try out Linux it’s been a shitshow. Stuff doesn’t work, drive encryption requires multiple passwords to boot up. Updates that fail.

Windows just works. Only apple is more consistent.

    I have never seen an encryption implementation that required two passwords to decrypt the disk.

    Is it possible the first one decrypted the disk and the second password was for your user account?

    Could be. I just remember being perturbed that there wasn’t an easy way to undo that situation.

    Most desktop environments have an option for auto login under the user settings. That way you only need to decrypt the disk.

    I still end up with other issues.

    Right now I have one that attempted an update and ate the storage device. I later find out that the update command is deprecated and shouldn’t be used. Why is it still there then?

    Another that installed a DE but the display is sideways and it’s not responding to the config.txt edits to rotate the display. In windows i didn’t need to look anything up, just right click and edit my display settings.
