Is there any way to leave Nobara "unlocked" for a short period?
Sometimes I have to go back and forth between apps that require password permissions, and though I know it's not the most secure, I was wondering if there was a way to have my password entered once and last for a few minutes before using it again?
For example, I was troubleshooting an issue with the updated the last day, enter password to open, enter password in terminal for a sudo command, open updater again to see if issue resolved, but I need to enter password again, back to terminal, password... Etc.
That's a hyper specific example, but I do feel like I have to enter password a bit too much, wwhich would be fine if it was a pin or simpler password, but Nobara doesn't let you usee simple passwords.
