It’s almost like trying to squish different security architectures on top of each other doesn’t work well. It’s a nice idea, but it was either not going to work smoothly or be a big security issue.

Meanwhile you can bypass uac(as an admin user) using the fucking help window. They’re all over the place.
I thought you can activate inline mode if you don’t like the UAC pop-up.
Inline mode only means that the elevated command runs in the same terminal instead of opening a new window. You still have to get past the UAC prompt.
So if I’m understanding correctly they now let you type a command to open a new window to check your credentials (like polkit?) instead of asking for it in the tty? And the only new thing is that you can elevate your privileges in an existing tty (before you would need to start a separate admin terminal right?)
OK but why were you getting aroused by a tool?
have you met linux users
