sudo stop telemetry
Can’t wait for SystemD for Windows
sudo systemctl disable telemetryI honestly want that. I much prefer managing services with systemd.
ERROR: Fuck you! What do you think, we’re Linux? How will we earn them monies without your data?
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!”
Wayne Knight still underrated
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.
And slower and never fuckin updates…
Also features Snap?
I think mint is too Linuxy for win…they might go with Ubuntu and embrace snaps
ironically, cinnamon was made to be familiar to windows users (im pretty sure)
Cinnamon is one of four DEs whose reason for being is to be Not Gnome 3. Mate, a fork of Gnome 2, Cinnamon, a fork of Gnome 3 that isn’t dumb and bad, Unity, from Ubuntu’s “Not Developed Here” period, and more recently Cosmic or whatever Pop!_OS is calling their thing.
I thought Microsoft was copying KDE
Sorry, I’m not a fan of mint cinnamon
If my crystal ball is correct, Windows will be Linux in 10 years.
Already on their way

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
Wait, is sudo pronounced su du then?
yeah but it sounds dumb so im never gonna say it correctly
Always has been
no, never has been. it’s pronounced like pseudo.
i pronounce “su du” and pseudo the same way
you anarchist!
But it needs to be a verb like
getsetdoDo-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
That’s what I wxpect. But with one more layer. In the end it’s going to be system32/elevator.exe which is called by Invoke-Elevation in ps which is aliased to sudo.
It’s supposed to be available in cmd and batch so it must be callable directly
justfuckingdoitbeforeireplaceyouwithtinycore
ntassdo
You have a /s but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had a really long syntax
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.
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

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.
I was poking fun at MS for promoting a new feature which has existed on other platforms since the early 80s and should have had a Windows equivalent ages ago.
I’m curious, what part of my comment makes you think I’m upset? I genuinely don’t know how you came to that conclusion, and if I do come off as upset for making a joke I’d like to avoid that in the future.
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.
Kinda wish I didn’t know it had a logo. Those eyes are staring into my soul
today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo,** it’s in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip**.
this is definitely not directed at you but hearing xkcd described as classic makes me feel old :)
Oh I didn’t mean to classify xkcd itself as “classic”! It’s just that #149 is probably one of Randall Munroe’s most iconic comics and one of the first ones that come to my mind when I think of xkcd.
I must say though, it’s been around for almost two decades, being successful and constantly relevant in nerdy online spaces. If there is such a thing as a classic webcomic, xkcd should probably qualify.
Oh thank goodness, having to spawn a full admin terminal every time you need that is such a pita
And there is absolutely no way, that I could find, to create or pin a shortcut to eg WinTerm, which would launch it as admin.
Actually, that’s an easy one to workaround: hold down Ctrl+shift when you click on it (or any pinned application) and it will launch it elevated. Makes that part feel so much simpler and straightforward when I found that out.
Oh dang
gsudo
Yeah, I’m sure my IT security would love me putting that on the servers I manage
Though, apparently, this is not going to be added to Server anyway…boo
i mean it’s open source and has secure defaults so ¯_(ツ)_/¯…
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.
Nah, senile grandad needs a phone too.
Simple, overpriced tech for simple people who don’t prioritize tech or value.
I hate Steve Jobs specifically, his proud lack of charity, his overt need for the credit of talented people despite being nothing more than a marketer, and notably letting his proven child live on welfare for years as he was worth at the time millions. Most pos market capitalist oligarchs join Jobs in rejecting charity (commensurate with their wealth) and community, but even most of them somehow manage to play human when it comes to paying for their own children to eat without complaint, which made Jobs a particularly awful human being, even among our sociopath owners, which takes a lot of talent in being awful.
maybe he got those quotes from Wozniak, too /j
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 beingsudowill 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.
Except it does… (Its really slow and clunky)
Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.
Well I’m glad it works for you. Also I don’t think it runs under wine so you are stuck on Windows.
Yeah, when I used it, every command had like a second of delay. It was also buggy. But it has tabs and you can even split the window into multiple panes. So big improvement over cmd.
How long ago did you try it? I gave the first iteration of wsl a chance and had the same experience, it was super slow especially for things like ls. Its a lot better since wsl2. Probably 90% or more the performance of bare metal install of linux
I used it last year on Windows 10 (I was forced to use Windows by my employer). I didn’t use it with WSL, just with Git Bash.
Also forced to use windows for work. That wasn’t the windows terminal program being slow, that was git bash.
Ah, interesting. I didn’t realise that it was slow.
When searching commands now Windows garbage comes up
So it’s more to poison search results to stifle Linux adoption
That’s probably why they named the Xbox One the Xbox One all those years ago. Whenever people googled how to mod an Xbox One to play pirated games, they would keep finding original Xbox crap instead since everyone up until that point called it “Xbox 1”.
In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.
cd c:\folder
ls Command not found
Every Fn Time , now they add sudo?
Ditch CMD and use PowerShell like a civilised person. ls is a valid built-in alias to Get-ChildItem. cd itself is an alias to Set-Location.
I just run Linux directly and skip windows for almost everything.
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.
then, use gsudo. it uses uac and even has convinience features from linux sudo like maintaing an open session for passwordless elevation for a couple of minutes after the password is entered.
I think they meant you could use any account that is an admin with runas to elevate.
Is it a wrapper around
runas?Maybe, but knowing the ease of
sudo, I really hate usingrunas. Most of the time, I just want plain old admin privileges. Mostly I don’t care whether I can impersonate another user with this.runas is trash, to be honest. I’ve been waiting 30 years for an OS-native tool that allows me to delegate specific commands for specific users to run with specific parameters as admin. Something I can do with sudo (well, sudoers) in 5 minutes is outright impossible on Windows. I’d like to believe that Microsoft will implement this part of sudo, but I’m not gonna hold my breath
This changes EVERYTHING
