    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.

        Like, editing a /etc/config file or installling a package. You’re ading ssu to <tool> already, you’re aware you’re doing root tasks.
