>>107258618That's the fault of linux, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum%E2%80%93Torvalds_debateInstead of making the services ask for permission on user's behalf, Linus made Linux so that user asks for permission on service's behalf.
>>107258670In MINIX, the user wants to do something with a service, the MMU knows that and waits for a service to ask it for a permission to do that.In Linux, for the user to do something he has to first gain permission to do everything and then do just that one thing he wanted to do.
>>107258618you can program sudo to run applications without the user password you know.
just use root for everything chud
>>107258741you can also program polkit rules to run gui apps like discover without passwords.or just login as root anon.
dude just use windows 11 if you want to be productive
this is what happens when you slap GUI on top of utils made for the CLIand that's why UX in linux will always be dog shit
Just `sudo -s` first and do it all in a shell. That's my "I'm done being asked" alternative.
