        Like sudo requiring you to use the root password?

        Isn’t one of the principal reasons sudo exists is so you DONT need to know or use the root password to perform root-level tasks?

        It’s an idiotic choice on OpenSUSE’s part IMO.

          As far as I remember, sudo ask for the user password, not the root one.

          It is “su -c [some_command]” that ask for the root password.

            Of course you can. My point is, it’s a ridiculous decision on OpenSUSE’s part to ship it this way in the first place.

        Was going to comment similar. it has all thinks thought about and tweaked so it runa great and functions like it should. Maybe they didn’t enjoy system rollbacks and GUI admin?

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great system, but it’s overengineered like a German car.
      What bugs me the most is that many of the YaST tools duplicate KDE’s own so you have several GUI tools installed that roughly change the same settings.
