Is there a way to require a user to wait a certain time instead of asking for a password every time he wants to execute a command as root or access the root / or another user account?

Yes; the command prefix that you’re looking for is
shutdown now ; (followed by your sudo command if you wish)It will provide the appropriate delay before using the root command via sudo or having logged again as root (sigh)!
@deadcatbounce @dontblink That’s the Linux version of “press ALT+F4 to enable cheatmode” 🤣
Please don’t desecrate my Linux with (what I assume is) Windows talk.
Bleugh! I need a shower!
