Hello,

I am looking for a program that can force me to stop using Linux when I need to do something else, like eating dinner or going to bed.

This time enforcement could be as simple as changing the user password and then logging me out at a certain time (of course it should also change the password back later)

It should also require a password (different from the user password) to change its settings or uninstall it, so that I can’t tamper with it in a weak moment.

Is there such a program for Linux?

    config files are a bandaid Sorry I am a bit confused, are you want me to use the config files or not?

    They actively prevent learning - config files are a bandaid, although pam, like selinux, fstab, crypttab are painful ones to make a mistake in but the good news is often fixing them is booting into a live cd and changing it, so make backups.

    My goal is to get my life in order, not to become a half sysadmin. So I want the safest and most reliable solution to solve my problems
