I don’t think i need to explain how it works, should i ?
Are they actually naming the command “sudo” or is that just a comparison?
Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol
Looks like they didn’t even tried to hide it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sudo/
The sudo command offers a way to quickly elevate a command as administrator from your current unelevated command line context and is familiar to some users coming from other operating systems.
From any other operating system
TempleOS doesn’t have sudo, you just need to pray for a divine intervention.
You don’t need sudo, everything is already in Ring 0 as God intended.
Should have called it addo
Or ditto
What’s wrong with giving a command the same name as the equivalent command from other operating systems?
That would be like calling the lynx command InternetExplorer
To me lynx is an application, whereas sudo is part of the OS, just like cp or cat. I know Linux sudo is maintained separately, but it’s part of what is expect in even the most minimal install of any Unix-like OS.
Okay…
Yes
Where’s my sandwich?
I’m glad they’re teaching they’re user base linux, will make transitioning easier
I think you’re misunderstanding their goal.
What parent is likely referencing
TBH I wonder if the current Microsoft is capable of executing that here. I don’t believe in a “changed” MS, but Linux is eating the world, and MS doesn’t really care about Windows much anymore. Azure happily runs Linux VMs
They can still take a stab at it 🤷. Why else would you actually add something like this… it makes no sense to me.
Maybe they’re slowly working toward making Windows work on the Linux kernel in order to offload maintenance costs to the open source community… 👽🛸
Write FOSS next, quickly!!!
Step 1: Release cool FOSS apps and gain popularity.
Step 2: The apps are still FOSS, but now most of the cool features are actually proprietary and running on the company’s servers. <— we’re here right now
Step 3 (soon-ish): “Since our customers love our proprietary features so much, we’re no longer maintaining our FOSS version. Subscribe to our new pro subscription to continue accessing the apps”
Honestly MS doesn’t even both hiding the fact that they want to you to use Windows so they can sell you subscriptions to proprietary software and the cloud.
FOSS!
Was that quickly enough?–
Thank you, now we just wait …
FOSS
They’re onto it already with a few apps surprisingly…
Windows when?
Yeah, I know, but like imagine they pivot their full business model to foss.
Lol
I discovered winget (command in PowerShell) a couple of years ago, it’s pretty cool
Winget actually has quite a shitty history and you could put WinGet into the meme above. It’s basically a clone of an open source package manager called AppGet. Microsoft reached out to AppGet developer to hire him and make the tool official, but somewhere in the process ended up ghosting him for 6 months before suddenly releasing WinGet, copying most of AppGet features.
If we’re going to speculate why Microsoft did him dirty, the AppGet dev also made Sonarr (a popular “arr” tools) and someone at Microsoft probably killed the deal because they don’t want to be seen hiring the dev of a popular tool in piracy community.

Tabs in the file manager

Straight up using the KDE motto
Oh that second one has me in flames man

Press WinKey+Ctrl+D, then WinKey+Ctrl+(←or→). Windows already has multiple desktops.
This meme makes a lot more sense if you don’t cover up the faces
good thing we are all memelords who know this format by heart
I don’t, but I’ve seen the sauce and remember it.
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.
I’m not familiar with the meme, and it’s still obvious one is copying the other. Although, it does make it look like Linux copying Windows rather than the path that reality took.
Yeah you have to already know that one person is obviously looking over at the others answers.
Ah, so that’s how it makes sense!
Excuse me? This is Mr. Bean, not just some person
“What’s a re-run?!”
People are laughing, but it is annoying to open a Windows terminal, get a couple of steps into whatever you were doing, and find you need admin privileges for some bullshit.
Pressing up, home, "sudo " and enter is a lot quicker than opening a new command prompt in admin mode.
Where keys hope they support “sudo !!”
People are laughing because it took them more than 30 years to figure that out.
I’ve been already using gsudo for that purpose
I unironically have thefuck installed in a few of my more frequently logged VMs. Incredibly convenient.
don’t frogette about the new windows terminal
kinda sad tbh
sudocan only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.Doesn’t that defeat the entire fucking purpose of sudo?
No, you can still run admin commands from a non admin console which is kind of neat.
“kind of neat” is being able to winrm into a machine without having to run a VNC session in parallel simply to click the popup. Taking the authentication prompt outside the shell session is… honestly, completely on brand for Microsoft.
Now get rid of those silly back slashes in paths, use bash as a non mentally deficient shell, change that sad kernel to Linux 6.8 and up, change your laughably sad NTFS to something sane, anything, even ext3 would do but take ext4, get rid of your ridiculous drive letters and instead of copying KDE, why don’t you just switch to KDE on X or Wayland?
Do all that and make it open and free, like all other actual operating systems and we’ll talk
I agree with everything but bash. Bash sucks I’m not going to lie, nearly anything else is better than bash
Zsh
fish
Sticks
what’s wrong with bash?
It’s pretty archeic with it’s syntax. A lot of its features have come about through feature creep. I mean it does a good job but it’s just hard to work with and pretty cobbled together. It’s showing it’s age. If you’ve worked with any large bash scripts you’d understand how much of a pain it can be
Windows increasingly allows either slash for paths.
I read about this a couple of days ago, apparently some support was there since DOS 2.0.
That and .NET’s CLR, i think.
sudo can only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.
lmao
To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys
Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.
Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.
If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.
Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.
Confusingly enough to release can also mean to publish or to cut loose.
My favorite when reading sports news is “resign”.
It can mean that they quit or that they entered into a new contract.
Who knows anymore with these youngsters’ vernacular?
