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
