Sudo is coming to windows

sudo stop telemetry

Win12 confirmed as a Linux mint cinnamon derivative distro.

Doesn't really make sense in the context of windows tbh

sudo = "superuser do"

They should have made it NT-ASdo for "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM do"

Except it should actually be a powershell module so you have to type out the whole thing as NT-AuthoritySystem-Do

Random sidenote, today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo, it's in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip.

Oh thank goodness, having to spawn a full admin terminal every time you need that is such a pita

Soon, some linux newbies would search for how to do something with sudo and spent an hour scratching their head trying to figure out why the command not working, only to realize they copy pasted sudo command for windows instead.

I am pretty sure it won't work 100% like sudo on Unix-likes, so why didn't they come up with different name, like elevate? This command being sudo will only confuse users.

We already had this function, they just made sudo into an alias of:

runas /user:Administrator

Some quotes from Steve Jobs about Microsoft:

• The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
• I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success — I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
• I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.

Sadly it doesn't seem to handle the one use case I really wanted it to handle, which is running elevated commands through a terminal in a VSCode tunneling session without also having an RDP session open for me to click the confirmation dialog.

Is it a wrapper around runas?

This is the most non-credible real shit i've seen in a while. Sudo for windows? What is next? The whole gnutils native on windows? If they do that I'm going to be happy because i could play games that aren't suported on linux but at the same time scraping all the big pile of shit that windows is packaged with.

Like neutered Windows, like droping a huge nuke into Sytstem32 directory and killing every shit.

No more you don have permisions to do this when i'm the only user, plus administrator. Current state it feels like microsoft is lending my computer to me or something.

Well tbh Mac OS is having the same aproach. I've used old macos and nowadays all the things someone wants on an os are hidden in maze like preferences windows and whatever bullshit.

sudo pacman -R sudo

Windows is just the expensive knock off at this point XD

At this point just release a new Linux distro and call it "Windows for Developers" or something.

I've been using gsudo for that for a while, but it's nice to have native options.

scoop install sudo

:)

Didn’t Microsoft try to patent sudo a few years back?

This changes EVERYTHING

Sooner or later . . . https://archiveos.org/lindows/

If my crystal ball is correct, Windows will be Linux in 10 years.

gsudo

Powershell is Missing a Texteditor for my, is there a way to get something like nano

windows is just linux that can run games
