Stop Using Sudo For Everything Try This Instead!

openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Polkit.
Think sudo is the whole story? Not even close.
This in-depth guide shows how polkit (PolicyKit) really controls who can do what on openSUSE Tumbleweed — across the desktop, GUIs, and services — and how you can safely customize it. We’ll cover the concepts, where files live, SUSE default privilege profiles, implicit authorization types, all the official tools (pkaction, pkcheck, pkexec, pkttyagent), how to write JavaScript rules, how to override/restore defaults, and a practical home-user example you can use today.
Everything here is 100% working on the latest Tumbleweed.
