This seems to have gone off topic somewhat. My main question was, is
it possible/easy to set one password to log on and another one to use
with sudo? And secondly, if so, is it a good idea?
Yes it's possible.
Install Ubuntu with default user (choose an "admin" type name) [user A],
set a password. Login. Create a new user [user B] with (encrypted home
directory).
User B, by default has no sudo rights. use this for normal use
Use User A for administrative tasks.
