From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
pkexecnot 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
They can't help themselves. They gorge themselves on his phallic offerings.
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.
