Prompting for every single command seems like it'd suck

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for "security", so I would just 'sudo bash' which is obviously much safer /s.

My system is configured that way (by me) and I regularly use sudo -s.

I just want to see if there's a root shell and not rely on some hidden timeout 🙄

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Yeah I mean at that point it's redundant because you might as well type su -c "some command here". On the other hand having such alias does no harm if you're already using systemd.

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.
