minus-square vsis ( @vsis@feddit.cl ) linkfedilinkEnglish31•5 months agoOh, 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.
minus-square lengau ( @lengau@midwest.social ) linkfedilink7•5 months ago…is pkexec not good enough already as a polkit based sudo replacement? Why would one need to systemd-ify that?
minus-square john89 ( @john89@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink3•5 months agoFirst 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.
