That would just elevate each regular account to be a root account. There is no other way to make things like modifying files directly under / possible, or to change system configurations. You can lock everything down instead, then you have Android, but then you have certainly not enabled everything a user can do with sudo.

Ubuntu needs to play catch up. >but then you have certainly not enabled everything a user can do with sudo. The goal is not to be able to do everything. The average user doesn't need to be able to do anything. Especially with their regular account.

- theamk 1y agoSounds like you don't want a Linux system, but rather a Chromebook. Have you seen https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/ https://chromeos.google/products/chromeos-flex/ ? Install it on your computer and you get Android-like security model, including only verified software and lack of "sudo" or any sort of root access.
- charcircuit 1y agoA Chromebook is a Linux system. My concern is with Ubuntu improving their security posture. Telling Canonical to give up on Ubuntu and switch everyone over to ChromeOS is not something that I predict would work.
