doas is from OpenBSD, less and clean code == less bugs. At least, that is how I see it. I wrote last C code 15+ years back so you might as well ignore my comment ;)
- heywoodlh 4y agoIt seems to me like based on this information doas would be simpler and more secure. Another comment brought up that doas is available on Linux but doesn't function as well because kernel timers are disabled. This made me wonder: is doas not as popular as sudo because sudo functions the same across Unix-like platforms where doas doesn't? I wonder this because doas seems like it is superior but I rarely see how-to documentation (on Linux, at least) that uses anything aside from sudo (or just su) for privilege escalation.
