    Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

    Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

    I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

      …is pkexec not good enough already as a polkit based sudo replacement? Why would one need to systemd-ify that?

      I just treat polkit as “set it and forget” kind of thing and leave it on defaults, I’d rather spend my time on something more important

      First thing I do with any new desktop installation is disable polkit prompts.

      Fuck having to enter my password every time I want to do something.

        Hey uh can I get your IP address real quick? I have a strong suspicion your philosophy extends to your network ports.

          You’d be wrong about that.

          Edit: he just downvotes me instead of admitting he’s wrong about his assumption, lol.
