The timeout after entering sudo password isn't being honored. #7

As stated, after entering the sudo password, I used to be able to get ~30s-1min of time to do other such things. But with mate(not gnome 2 standard) it's sudo for every single instance that I'm about to use anything that requires sudo. I'm part of the sudo group and this wasn't part of ubuntu 11.04(back when I tried that) with gnome 2 thus the linux mint team's/mate package is the one that's messed up

Does this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudoTimeout

Sudo's a command-line app. I'm assuming it displays this behaviour under mate-terminal? Does it do it under something like plain-old XTerrm?

It is linux mint itself, it is the isue. It is the thing that is not stable and causes all of these weird crashes and such as such I've went back to debian stable and even there mate crashes randomly as such I can't use it. I want something that works, not something that crashes on me randomly, if I wanted a de that crashes randomly for no reason I'd be using kde, and if I wanted the issues to arise from the distro I'd be using arch. I chose mint because supposedly it was ubuntu based and even though I know their requirements for stability are way lower than debian, I thought they'd still be "OK". As such I can't use the thing, and I doubt I ever will be able to.
