i have no desktop icons and set my pc at a low brightness, it scares boomers away

Nothing on my PC I care to secure. I have a Ubi key for the primary accounts I use for recovery but to be honest they offer alternative 2fa and mfa for those anyway, so the key is redundant.
It depends what you want to achieve in terms of security.

i dont have a display manager so after i log in so i have to start KDE manually.
i never intended it as a security feature but most people probably couldnt figure out how to start a DE from the terminal. i guess its kind of like having a manual car in the US.
i also have disk encryption and a strong password but thats not really interesting.

My door is frequently left unlocked and my PC logs in without a password. Though I do have a password manager locally hosted for important things. I trust the guy next door more than I trust a cloud service provider.

None. I live with my gf and no need to worry about anything about her or someone breaking in

I have auto logon. I don’t have any portable pc so that’s enough to me. My password wallet as well as Firefox have a master password so even if someone somehow got my files I don’t really care. And I also live alone

I switched back from Linux to Windows, there is no point anymore. Nothing, not even a lock screen, I don’t keep valuable data on my PC anyway.

I have an android app that lets me unlock my PC using my phones biometrics. The app is called Remote Fingerprint Unlock. It also has WoL so if I’m pulling into my driveway, the moment Wifi is connected, I can scan and my PC will be ready to go by the time I get to it.

My lockscreen is the only one, but you can’t access windows with password. I even cut the password input field out, tho the password is set for the system (27-digits alphanumeric lol).
You need both presence of my phone in my home LAN and an ID card with NFC chip to unlock windows. Oh, and a physical key to start up the PC (this one is purely cosmetic, turning a key halfway just connects two wires so the PSU can feel the key being turned all the way, just like in car. You can override this by opening the case and connecting PSU directly to the mobo, as well as common ON button)

Where are people living that a lock screen isn’t enough? My computer stats on most of the time logged in, idgaf.

I wish I could just remove the lock screen password. It’s a desktop, I don’t need a password

None. My screen doesn’t even lock after screensaver comes on. If they want to read my emails (which are 99% junk) and set my fantasy hockey lineups then go right ahead. Also wouldn’t mind if they grinded some levels for me on palworld. LOL

An 8 word randomly generated and memorized passphrase with biometric unlock.
LUKS and BitLocker (depending on the system)
A great OPSEC, clean as fuck system with minimal attack surface.
If on Windows, Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If on Linux only, SELinux, UFW and maybe ClamAV just to protect other Windows based systems.
# Also, if a hacker gets past all of these, then he’ll be faced with my unsolicited dick pic as my wallpaper.
