When you gave your brother the password to your Windows account, whether you knew it or not, you were giving him administrator privileges to accomplish something that would modify system settings, such as installing software and changing system files. To offer that privilege to others by giving out your password is nonsense. But to mimic that behavior here, you would just need to add each user account to the sudo group. They would use their password (which you can make the same as yours), but the result would be the same.
That is the answer to your question.
You will lose control here, as you did with giving out your password in Windows. But I am glad you are with Linux now. It is a better environment for what you want. The opportunity for damage is reduced, though under this scenario, far from absent.
