That's a very slim proposition value, especially when multiple commands in a row require admin privileges.

- MattPalmer1086 3y agoSudo also allows you to control which commands can be elevated to admin. It also lets you elevate to admin without knowing the admin password, you elevate with your normal account password. Effectively, some commands can execute as admin, but the user generally cannot. So you can allow limited administration without giving everything away.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoThat's like saying (in a Linux context) "sudo is dumb because you can just use su". The two tools have different use cases.
- whywhywhywhy 3y agoGood thing they're keeping the admin terminal too so you can just keep using that. Personally I think it's way more likely the admin command is the one off like installing something, changing a setting and then everything else before and between it are user commands that don't need to be in admin space most of the time.
