    Are you trying to run everything as sudo / admin? I do not recall having to type in the password that much, even a decade ago when Linux experience was less polished.

      tbf linux does have more sensible security defaults so having to enter more passwords is kinda true

      on windows, the default user is passwordless admin by default so they just click one button to “authorise” whatever needs admin privileges (e.g. installing programs to windows equivalent of /usr/bin )

      most Linux distributions I’ve used (except maybe raspbian) requires the user’s password for running shit as superuser

      you CAN change the behaviour in /etc/sudoers if you really care though
