1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    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?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    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.
