My own recommendation (and others may disagree): If you are the sole user on your machine(s), don't have to act as admin for others, then save yourself a world of hurt by (ticking YES) to enable shadow passwords, and (ticking NO) not to enable login as root. On Debian-type machines, this caused me problems which delayed my own migration over to Debian. And now at last I have settled on Devuan, at least for the moment, but that is another matter.
