Huh. In that case, the upthread commenter likening the new model to being more "linux-like" seems confusing.
Given that they didn't mention which Linux security model the new system was like, I presumed they meant the most commonly referenced model for performing administrative tasks: sudo/doas - which elevates a process for its entire runtime.
But if it's a per-operation model, I guess they might have been comparing it to the "desktop portal"/"policykit-dbus" model instead? Which does kind of fit, but I don't think is the security model that most people think of when someone says "linux-like just-in-time escalation"?
