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

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

Fair enough but then you shouldn't complain about the lack of confirmation (like the meme does)

Honestly I don't think it's that bad. I have to use sudo just as often on linux as I have to accept the elevation box on win. Win11 has some serious issues but UAC is harmless.

So you think a person that would turn off UAC wouldn't just put NOPASSWD in the sudoers? I doubt that. And even if they had to enter their pwd... Wouldn't that just be annoying for the casual user instead of increasing security? I doubt they would be like "Oh I have to enter my pwd now, that really makes me think twice about whatever I was going to do with sudo."
