Ever since I found out about run0 I've been using that. I don't like having redundant software installed. Is it possible to safely remove sudo from an Arch Linux system? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

why exactly do you prefer run0?

with sudo I can allow certain actions I do myself (e. g. system upgrade or change timezone) to proceed without a password, but require a password for everything else. this is important because some scripts elevate privileges via sudo. if I allowed all sudo without password I might be ruined byone badly written script...
