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.

Wrong move. To make sudo more secure, you should instead ditch 90% of the features intended for server which nobody on desktop uses. 150 lines of C code is enough to provide sudo-like functionality on desktop, probably similiar in Rust.
except ubuntu isn't a desktop-only distro
you might also not be considering corporate workstation in an intranet
They are open to drop some features apparently, but maybe not "90%"
