sudo stop telemetry
Can't wait for SystemD for Windows
sudo systemctl disable telemetry
I honestly want that. I much prefer managing services with systemd.
no
And this incident has been reported. As have all your activities, searches, sites, and keystrokes
They need to end the “this incident has been reported” line with an animated laughing Bill Gates saying “ah ah aaaah, you didn’t say the magic word!”

Win12 confirmed as a Linux mint cinnamon derivative distro.
No, that would be too soon. It took them over 20 years to make a package manager, 15 years to add tabs to Windows Explorer. Maybe in 10-20 years they will do it.
package manager
They've got winget recently so they get closer than you think.

"linux mint, but it sells your data"
i know microsft isn't really selling it, but they're making money like they do.

I think mint is too Linuxy for win...they might go with Ubuntu and embrace snaps

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
^/s^
But it needs to be a verb like get set do
Do-As "NT Authority/System"
Have to quote it in too... since there's a space.
Probably something more like "Invoke-Command -AsAdmin"
Which would be aliased to sudo

>"sudo was initially released: circa 1980"
Random sidenote, today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo, it's in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip.
They're also aknowledging that it already existed... It's new to windows. I don't like them either but you don't need to actively look for shit to be upset at them over.

The sandwich with a face makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason
This sandwich is definitely the type of sandwich to eat humans as revenge for its kind.

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.
Or the other way around
Most likely the other way around. They'll see the guide mention Windows and bail out because it's proprietary
I meant that window users will see Linux commands since Linux has been around for much much much longer and window users will get confused. Which is good, we need people to start hating Windows so they'll consider Linux
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.
I think they want to compete with GNU/Linux and attract its users. They made WSL for probably the same reason. They even have a terminal now that almost doesn't suck.

Whenever a windows user Google's how to do something with it the Linux thing will show up. Microsoft might need to rethink this

We already had this function, they just made sudo into an alias of:
runas /user:AdministratorNo, that required the local admin account to have a password, which is usually unset (and the account is also locked). This uses the UAC system instead.

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.
You made me angry with myself for agreeing with Steve Jobs.
Don't worry, all the quotes work for Apple too. You can always hate both.

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.

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.
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.
