Creating a different user account for it is out of the question btw, since you can still change the password for that user via the primary admin account.
It’s Linux, on the local machine the root account is always going to be able to do things.

Not if you have an encypted folder etc, with a different password than the user account. That way, is safe even from the root account. The problem here is that the app is a .deb, it doesn’t come as an appimage, and it needs constant updating too. So it’s the main system executable file that I want to make user-authenticating, with a different password than that of the user account.
