>But enough about all that security blabla. The tool is also a lot more fun to use than sudo. For example, by default it will tint your terminal background in a reddish tone while you are operating with elevated privileges. That is supposed to act as a friendly reminder that you haven't given up the privileges yet, and marks the output of all commands that ran with privileges appropriately.
WHAT AM I READING?? Why can't the systemd developers just be normal?
I also suspect that this will interact terribly with anyone who uses a certain kind of terminal theme. Do they not know that you can have these "nice to have" features, off by default, so that anyone who wants can enable them and anyone else is never bothered by them?
