There are alternatives to sudo other than the new Rust version here.
"doas" [1] comes from OpenBSD and is a smaller (LOC) tool, easier to audit and keep secure (supposedly). Also available for Linux.
Also "run0" [2], another alternative that comes from the Linux/Systemd camp, using "polkit" and is similar to "systemd-run".

- NekkoDroid 7mo ago> Also "run0" [2], another alternative that comes from the Linux/Systemd camp, using "polkit" and is similar to "systemd-run". It literally is `systemd-run`, just with slightly different defaults (multi-call binary). Unlike `sudo` and `doas` it inherits almost nothing from where it gets launched, which can be very unexpected if you simply treat it as a drop-in replacement for the 2.
