is there a non-psychological reason for linux to wait a second to tell you your password is wrong
is there a way to remove that from linux
ssh, desktop managers, everything that takes a password
it's infuriating

You can completely remove the delay by adding "nodelay" to the end of the "auth ... pam_unix.so" line in /etc/pam.d/common-auth.
Be warned that doing this can make you more susceptible to brute force attacks (particularly if you don't use key-only auth for SSH).
