It's not like I want to defend windows, but If it needs admin permission you usually can't start it without confirmation.

Everyone knows most people turn UAC completely off after it nags them for the 10th time and they get frustrated and dump it.

Yeah maybe, but if that exact same people would use linux they would sudo or 777 everything which wouldn't be much better security wise

Let me introduce you to a plethora of industry RedHat users who log into GUI as root for 8 whole hours, everyday.

Sure but if you're doing rooty stuff all day then sudo you're sudo not sudo going sudo to sudo type sudo sudo sudo every sudo fucking sudo time sudo you sudo want sudo to sudo do sudo something. And yeah it sudo caches it for sudo a bit but sudo it's still too sudo much.

#: I'm just going to write some memos in WPS Office and send it to the networked ftp server running on Binbos. Oh and while I'm at it, I'll just ssh into a few other computers as root, using Nautilus (as root of course) and keep them all open until I shutdown, just because I want to copy their docx files.
