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.

You joke but ssu is for that (since you are logged in already, why ask for a password).
Edit: this is for single-user systems. Makes yay (AUR helper) pretty convenient.
Oh no. This is so bad. Who in their right mind would assume that a login user remains the same user throughout the session!?
Oh wait. Windows.
To give the user an extra second to realise they're doing dumb shit, and should stop?
Like, editing a /etc/config file or installling a package. You're ading ssu to already, you're aware you're doing root tasks.
Also, so that a random program you run as an wheel user can't just get root access without asking.
