From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's 23s of your life wasted, but how would you set it?
NOPASSWD?
That's not secure by most experts, people do it as convenience, but say rogue code was run by user and sudo was open, ... done your system belongs to someone else now.
@NotATurtle @PrivateNoob
Hmmm interesting, so having no sudo is a security move then?
Sudo is fine, just use a good password. Anyone setting up NOPASSWD has given up on security, it's not a thing in real practice.
That is a strict position some have, but I didn't say this. Editing /etc/sudoers and giving sudo or wheel group users a no-passwd access is insecure.
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
will not ask you for
passwd, it is like bypassing sudo
If you open sudoers you will see what I'm saying. In debiuntu it is sudo group in arch/void ... it is wheel group
