Does it have a gui based update manager that doesn't require me to enter my password because it ducktapes sudo on top?

God, the ubuntu one is the worst as it'll sometimes prompt multiple times for a password.

IME, the GUI updates work out of the box with the default Debian desktop, no prompting for passwords.

I guess Ubuntu behavior you saw might've been due to their Snap package stuff, not the normal Debian APT package stuff.
