Hello. In the past I used MX Linux 21. One of the neat tweaks they did (that I wish I could have back again in LMDE5) was that once you used sudo in one terminal, providing your correct password (and succeeding), then magically, all the other terminals inherited the "easement" of needing to provide the sudo password again (for some period of time, like say 10 minutes). If you opened a new terminal, it too inherited this "easement". It's a drag to enter a sudo password, but then your password "easement" applies to that one terminal only, but no other terminal on your desktop.
Are there any sudo experts out there, who can suggest a sudo tweak (or wherever the tweak needs to go) to enable this successful-password-provided goodness to "spread" to all other open Terminals?
sudo asks for password in every new terminal

I suspect that is considered a "security issue", and it would effect all Windows and Users.
for me, I never gave it a thought

Generally, I think it is a bad idea to change the default sudo configuration.
However, it is your system.
With a little effort you can probably figure it out yourself by reading about "timestamp_type" in the

The first question is, why do you need sudo so often.
The next question is what hinders you to keep the used terminal window open?
