Yeah. I keep one root tmux session open on my main PC for administrative tasks.

sudo is a setuid binary, but it’s a fairly simple program
Some people would disagree to this.
The brief description of run0 already has too many potential points of failure.
If the "listener" is PID1, which will run the privileged command, in theory, it would be quite bullet proof (in a working system PID1 is always there). But since this is systemd, PID1 is much more than that and much more complex. On the other hand spawning another daemon from PID1 to be the "listener" makes it, perhaps, even more complicated. You'd have to make sure the listener is always running and have some process supervisor there to watch if it exits... and maybe even a watchdog polling it to make sure it isn't frozen.
So my conclusion is the same as yours:
a solution in search of a problem
We already have a working solution. Have a well written SUID program. I've been using doas for some years now. It's simple enough that I trust it.
Sir, your thinking is certainly what kids call "next-level".
Predictions of which will win the race?
- noveau being useful with new nVidia GPUs
- we'll reach the year of Linux desktop
Besed on the upvotes, it's not only your opinion. 👍
Nope. I mainly get my games (curretly around 10 only) from gog.
Void offers musl too. Unless they've discontinued it.
But
compile everything yourself?
I do (almost) exactly that. I run Gentoo almost everywhere. The 'almost' is because Gentoo now offers an official bin repository too, so I can mix compiled and pre-compiled software. (Although you've always had the option to set up your own binary host).
Yikes.
I'd switch to musl on all of my boxes if it weren't that nearly all precompiled software (closed source, games mainly) are compiled against glibc.
... and tmux session open in it.
It's official now. ;)
I’ve only ever had minor ones on arch and pretty much nothing on gentoo.
My biggest complaint with Arch was that downgrading wasn't officially supported.
With Gentoo I don't have pretty much nothing to complain. But I get it's not for everyone.
That said I've not ran many different distros as my main distro. I went with mkLinux --> Gentoo --> Arch --> Gentoo.
Rolling with Gentoo here. Reinstall is not performed even when complete hardware upgrade has been done.
