If the distribution you have chosen allows OEM installation (no user creation), it is time for you to create your username and password and set up your network.
In case the chosen distribution does not allow OEM installation, the user and password is slimbook, in addition, if the root user is enabled or has requested disk encryption, his password is also slimbook, change it to a secure one!

BATTERY
Try not to discharge the battery from 100% to 0% directly; instead, aim to use the battery within an intermediate range between both extremes, as it experiences less stress (20-80%). Try to keep it above 20%.It is also recommended to connect the device to power only when charging and not to leave it always connected.
Avoid constantly connecting and disconnecting the adapter every few minutes. Once the charging cycle is established, it's best not to interrupt it, thereby reducing battery degradation.
