@pid_eins Hi Lennart,
I saw in an article that you’re looking to replace sudo? I’m not sure how accurate that is but for brevity sake my ask is - Is it possible instead to keep sudo and just make run0 an alternative option?
Why I’m asking is because this would break so many scripts and packages. Pip and docker-compose changes have already done a lot of damage, let alone replacing this keyword which is used everywhere. Is there no way to modify sudo to achieve what you need instead?

pid_eins@mastodon.social@gnubyte nobody is taking sudo away. It's about offering something better for OSes that don't have to care about legacy so much.

@pid_eins thanks for clearing it up! I’m glad we’re able to approach and ask questions. It sounds like some of the negative sentiment I read about this is baseless then.

In addition, it's a pretty nice stick for knocking the ice when testing various configurations related to polkit and PAM.
I've only recently moved my kernel QA from dusty old busybox to systemd (because I noticed that in some kernel features I was lagging over two years of user space progress), and it is definitely one of the more useful features of systemd for my work.
You can also pretty much use anything you want in the foreseeable future. In the end of the day, all of these are roughly front-ends configuring privileged access based on PAM, PolKit, MAC and DAC in varying levels of detail. There's also some other similar tools such as "really".
