Sudo for Windows is a new way for users to run elevated commands directly from an unelevated console session. It is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console.

    Linux subsystem for windows

    If you wanted to talk about EEE regarding Linux subsystem for Windows, you probably should specify that. I share your misgivings about WSL, but this thread is about sudo for Windows which is another thing entirely.

    Making it easier to stay off Linux, adding similar elements to Linux to appeal to Linux users.

    I have a hard time imagining Linux users switching to Windows because of a feature Linux has had since its inception. Of course MS won’t do anything that doesn’t increase their profits, that’s what corporations do. Implementing “new” features is a way of attracting more users, sure, but I still fail to see any way in which sudo for Windows fits the EEE scheme. “Embrace, extend, extinguish” refers to specific predatory business practices, it’s not shorthand for “everything I dislike about capitalism and the tech industry” and using it as such kinda dilutes its original meaning.

          Yeah was harsh, having some shit times right now and sometimes it comes out on here rather than IRL. Sorry.

          It’s the fact they are adding familiar elements, it has shit to do with interoperability, probably just for now. Its MS were talking about

          And I’m just a dumb windows user man, been too lazy to make the transition.

            Hey no worries, we all have our bad days. Props for owning up to it! Apologies if I ever came off as rude as well.

            Hope you feel better soon 💕
