I understand. You vew this from the prespective of creating the os
with arch packages being imported but from my prespective on my server
I don't want that hairball free desktop crap as a wrapper to the Linux
kernel granting rights of any kind.
My laptop is one thing by my mail server and ssh and apache server is
another. It is just a big rich attack vector and on my workstation it
is a huge complex hairball of dependencies where I've lost control of my
hardware.
I can't be the only expereinced user here to have looked at polkit and
said, "What the fuck do I need that for"
