minus-squarevsis@feddit.cllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up42arrow-down1·8 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-squarelengau@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up13·8 months ago…is pkexec not good enough already as a polkit based sudo replacement? Why would one need to systemd-ify that?

minus-squarevoxel@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI 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
minus-squarejohn89@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·8 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.
