Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.
When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.
In the mean time I guess that you could copy the 1st 60 characters of your password to login.
Edit - you can go to the lemmy github if you to air your grievance over the restriction of password length.
On a personal note, how much extra protection does a 80+ length give over a 60 character one¿?
