Sudo on Windows? (Spoiler: It's actually good)
I can’t believe this took so long but I’m hyped it happened. Microsoft’s slow embrace of Unix/Linux standards is a necessary step for Windows dev to become reasonable again. One command at a time.

I wonder how many vulnerabilities this will bring, since windows does some weird stuff when it comes to privileges
Linux users once again demonstrating they know NOTHING about windows.
So what's the difference between terminal and sudo on windows?
I want this now! But I don't want to switch to the Insider Channel. Hopefully, it comes sooner.
lmfao 💀💀💀
doas when??
I first programming in Windows. But since some packages need a higher privilege, I quit Windows just in programming part. I still gonna use Linux anyway.
Before using sudo, you need to authenticate with Microsoft account, and now Microsoft own your entire computer
Is there a sudoers/wheel group?
One thing i wish Windows would do, is to fix their man command. There is no real working man page handling in windows, it basically only gets the online documentation for the command, and there is no way to add new manuals to some directory to have them show up.
im already using gsudo 🗿
I can't help feeling that this is going to be a massive headache for people looking after enterprise windows in a domain.
It's for powershell only but I use cmd primarily 😢
Linux when you run a command without sudo:
Now I'm not doing it.
Gonna be nice to just do sudo winget install
I use arch
i just type "term" into the searchbar and press SHIFT+CRTL+ENTER to execute as admin
Hasn't "cd" always been in command prompt? What command does it alias to?
Actually, sudo stands for "sudo is not an acronym"
I think Linux should rather adopt the Windows way of doing it.
what makes sudo better or even necessary when there is the common runas /user:administrator ?
This thing can be used as Privilege Escalation tool for hackers because it works without any password just from ordinary CMD without admin rights and allows you to do admin tasks just in 1 command FROM SHELL WITHOUT ADMIN RIGHTS
Use Linux
1:04 This isn’t true. The only difference windows terminal made here is that it made powershell the default. Powershell has had these features for like a decade
Windows had “runas” forever?? Been using that for early 2000s.
I already made Powershell and cmd run as administrator a long time ago 😅 glad that Microsoft is starting to 'cook'.
