No.
As far as I know only root is locked by default (at least on Fedora Workstation). Aka
you can't su to root. But you are able to use Switch to any other (not locked) User,
as usual.
Is there a way to undo this noxious action? Because if not, I'll be migrating both of
my computers to CentOs.
So much overreaction to incorrect information. Yes, by default, the root password is
locked, which has been the case for a long time. The installer lets you set it if you
want. There is no change to su or sudo. As always, if the root password is disabled,
you can't use su to get to root. But again, as always, sudo will still work if your
user account is set as an administrator (i.e. part of wheel group). And ssh to root
will work if you setup a key.
I don't have a running Workstation instance at the moment. However, I seem to recall if
one is hard-up about using "su -" they can "sudo passwd root" and create a pw and then "su
-" will function as before.
I tried it Ed.
No go.
It keeps saying that authentication failed.
