  • If it’s such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

    Are they though? My corporate managed Windows machine either refuses an elevated command or asks me for my password/fingerprint. Same with macOS. Just because you don’t secure your Windows machine doesn’t mean other do the same.

    I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

    the least pressing concern for any Windows/macOS user. Besides, you can install user-wide application without any password requirement, if you want to change something on system level (and lets face it, when does a regular user does that on a regular basis?) you need to have some sort of security.

    Keep in mind that Bazzite runs an entirely different approach as Nobara, as it is immutable. You won’t be able to use yum/dnf to manage packages and flatpak is the preferred way to add software. To add systemwide new packages/applications you need to use rpm-ostree instead of yum/dnf.
