config files are a bandaid Sorry I am a bit confused, are you want me to use the config files or not?

They actively prevent learning - config files are a bandaid, although pam, like selinux, fstab, crypttab are painful ones to make a mistake in but the good news is often fixing them is booting into a live cd and changing it, so make backups.

My goal is to get my life in order, not to become a half sysadmin. So I want the safest and most reliable solution to solve my problems

Because if people work arround with a go-pro, its clear what they are doing

Thank you,

Is there some CLI/GUI implementation of this where I don’t have to write all the configs and other stuff my self and maybe make mistakes?

I am not a lawyer but from my reading the wording of the GPL/AGPL is a lot more clear and its also harder to circumvent then the EUPL

I would prefer the AGPLv3-or-later if you want a strong copyleft license

How likely is it to break the system with it?

So that I be able to use Gnome Parental Control to regulate my self. Especially in the way of bedtime enforcement

So that you understand the point.

If I would be on Windows, I would ask for a Windows solution

In my school the teacher locked them under the desk and brought them to the Principal’s office after class.

I never heard that any phone got stolen

Did the teachers stole the phones or how did that even happen? 💀

Ok,

My plan was just to make a “admin” user that has admin and sudo rights and then remove admin/sudo from my main user.

as the kids just take them out as soon as the teacher turns their back

When I was in school the teacher’s were seizing the phone if they caught you with it in class and sometimes require your parents to pick it up after school

You can also cat /etc/groups to see what groups a user has been added to, maybe something was preventing that file being updated?

Is there a difference to group [Username] ?

Do you think that its necesary for me to fix this, or could I just accept that its that way and I need to reboot if I change permissions?

I never blamed Linux for it, I would have the same problem with Windows or MacOS.

But since I use Linux, I ask for a solution that works on Linux

I’m pretty sure the packages are built as unprivileged users in a sandbox, and you can also restrict what users can use certain Nix features.

Are Nix packages sandboxed by default?

Psychologically the carrot is better than the stick, meaning you’ll keep fighting the lock-out mechanism, eventually resenting it and removing it.

The logout mechanism just needs to though me out of my way and take at least 5 minutes (better more) to circumvent, this will probably be enough for me to do the right thing.

Having an alert to remind you that you wanted to stop will be more pursuasive. (I have a “go to bed” alarm with a gentle, gradually increasing volume on my phone)

I tried this for many times, but ended up just dismising the alarms because my will is weak

Can someone say me if I can let it be that way if I’m ok with rebooting for sudo permission changes or if its necessary to fix this?

Would this then apply to all systemd distributions?

I tried this with newgrp wheel but still the new user don’t update its privileges
