Maru OS – A complete desktop experience on a smartphone

What percent of pi users don't connect a keyboard and monitor? I don't mind having a default password since when ever I've used a pi I ran it headless and configured it on first boot with SSH. It would make sense to force the pi user to change there password on first login, can't remember if this is the case.

If I remember correctly, raspi-config starts when you first login and that's a big hint to go and change the password. But after that there's something that nags you to change it but doesn't force you. I think this is entirely reasonable.

I almost never do. I ssh into it.

To be fair, I had a Pi2 and used it to watch videos but it died and my tablet or my TV+USB key are more convenient to use now. I guess some people would use a Chromecast instead.

You could set it up using the serial console then.

Does the average Raspberry Pi purchaser have the hardware or knowledge to connect a serial console?
