sudo is such a clumsy way of 'being root' on the command-line.

- turminal 6y agoSudo is supposed to give you flexibility - being able to perform some commands but not others and similar functionality. I think it achieves that _too_ well by being far too big and featureful. I prefer doas [1] - it gives the user some flexibility, but has a simple config format [2] that doesn't need a quick introduction to Backus-Naur form in its man page.
