Quite a griping title ehh?? :O
I want to start this post with a quote, it happens to be from another member who I holy respect and have gotten tons of great information from.

.... and there will come lots of times when you will be glad that the mistake you made doesn't have "undesired system consequences" because you're just a user.
So obviously this idea has been hashed out many times before by many people but sometimes we all get in a groove and all sing the same song even though there are better ideas.
A user is a user is you and me and everybody, we need to cater to our users and that means me and you and yes I realize this is a multi-user system.
I think there should be a Linux distro to give the "user" a nice secure system without all the hassle. Maybe its a Mac lol!
Seriously here is the simple idea, Why don't we authenticate once for all tasks?
It seems ridiculous to me that we need to have authentication for every task into all time on my own computer.
So I check out the warning that installing new software may harm my system, why do I need to see that 100 times?
We are never going to be able to save everybody from mucking up there computer no matter how many warnings we give them.
So why not go with the majority and and figure everybody is good.
Why are we doing anything with application installs that need authentication? We need to move the whole application install to a new dharma in Linux. Everything needs to be in the home folder and then only communicate with those libraries they are registered for.
Why do I need to authenticate to yast when messing with a joystick?
Really, linux needs to be looking to the future and find a new easy way for security besides what everyone is doing now.
