I find Linux even more annoying when it requires elevation. I get a password prompt rather than a yes/no dialog. I don't care about defending against an attack where I left my computer unlocked while I wasn't watching it, so the password request is pointless. The only thing I need to see is that I'm elevating something and the only extra security I want is that, like on Windows, it's impossible for an application to automate clicking yes.
Last I checked there was no solution for this on Linux though. Heck I couldn't even find a way to switch it to use biometrics.
But I want a yes/no prompt. Otherwise anything can request root access and get it without my input. Again, Windows handles this about as well as any system without granular permissions based access control can. A prompt comes up which is presented on the secure desktop, thus necessitating manual intervention but only requiring a single click since the secure desktop is only able to be interacted with by SYSTEM level processes anyway.
