Title: Microsoft introduces open-source Sudo for Windows; works similar to Linux
Post by: Redaktion on February 09, 2024, 10:17:46
There were a good number of reports on Microsoft bringing a command line tool that's similar to the sudo in Linux. Well, it seems like the reports were correct, as the company has officially introduced Sudo for Windows. What's more interesting is that it's open-source, with a GitHub repository available for the project.

Who cares.  I will never use Windows 10/11 online.  I have Deepin Linux for online activities.  Which means for me Windows is relegated to a permanently offline OS.  Which means Windows is just there for convenience.  I have REAL linux if I wanted to use sudo...

One small correction: Sudo for Windows is not yet open source. A small part of it - the sudo.ps1 wrapper script is available in the GitHub repository, but for the time being, the main sudo.exe is closed source.

Which runs under the supervision of the Windows hypervisor, which is a closed "black box".
