Wsl, sudo … Maybe step by step windows will turn into Linux. For sure it would be an unexpected way for Linux to conquer the desktop market
Hardcore Linux users would still not count it and would still wait for Linux on desktop to finally take off.
Source: Linux has 6.73% share on desktop. Except 2.25 percent points are ChromeOS, which is not FOSS enough, so Linux only has 4.48% on desktop.
So can you run
sudo rm -rf C:
to remove the malware now?No you can’t do that with administrator in windows.
Some things, windows just won’t let you do, even as an administrator.
FYI this has already been a thing for a long while thanks to an open source third-party implementation, and also works on Windows 10. I use it all the time, it’s very similar to Linux’s and I’ve never had any issues so far. Not sure if Microsoft’s official solution will be any different/better.
Is this just some sort of alias to “runas”?
I believe so, yeah. I used to have a script that would start a local Cassandra service and that’s what I had to use (because I didn’t want my live-in session of cmd to be admin 24/7.
Way to lazy to find a source but IIRC one of the Sudo devs said this was horrible because it’s “like Sudo” but not 1:1 so people will make assumptions about it that will lead to security issues
(Usually idc about security but for Sudo…)
Which is frustrating because 99% of the time people just want a way to run a command as admin without relaunching cmd as an admin.
Like that time they made their own Powershell imitation of curl? (before deciding it was an abomination and finally including stock curl, but not removing the old Powershell commandlet because of backwards compatibility so now
curl
andcurl.exe
are two different things and you’ll want the latter)Yeah that sounds like Microsoft.
Yes?

I love this lol
Did they port the whole thing or just made something similar?
Made similar
