One of the first things I do with each new install is disable the incessantly annoying password prompts that redundantly exist after I’ve already entered my password to log in.
This is the guide I always use in order to disable these annoying prompts.
This does NOT disable sudo password prompts, which I think are great and should remain active!
I know there’s going to be a lot of “responses” from the “non-pragmatic” crowd, but I encourage everyone reading their “responses” to think for themselves.
Don’t let a bunch of neurodivergent people on the internet dictate how you use a computer or assume they know more than you because they’re persistent or in greater numbers. Odds are, it’s usually the opposite because they’re insecure and can’t handle when people do things differently from them.
effectively, i am; but doing so in a manner that would allow polkit to continue running as designed.
my real goal is to understand why this post has such a negative vote count when the conditions for its existence seems like an acceptable risk since it’s disconnected from the internet; it’s literally how a lot manufacturing controlled by off-the-shelf computer equipment is done in this country.
The OP says nothing about being disconnected from the internet. The referenced guide uses a computer without internet, but not OP.
So it’s fair to assume OPs PC is still connected to the internet, as must devices are these days.
