      Not only the prompt, but also the credentials screen… i mean… how stupid can you get 🤦. You can’t pass the credentials in cmd 🤣🤣🤣 and you made THIS command to be used it 🤣 🤦.

      They have it! It’s OK, it’s usable, it’s called runas, but no, we wanna copy stuff from POSIX OSes 🤪 drrrrrrr…

    linux users when the windows sudo replica still values user security and uses uac and doesn’t just let you make changes to core system files because you happened to know a four letter command 👿👿👿👿

      UAC is no different from having a sudo password. They both have security measures. Sudo actually has fairly granular permissions if you can be bothered to set them up.

      Windows still allows you to modify system files it’s just more difficult. If you want a Linux system that doesn’t let you do that those exist too, they are called immutable linux distros.

        Windows does contain DRM protected files that it will not allow you to touch. Some games on the Microsoft Store for example.

        Not to counter your point, just that I find it insane.

    Nothing will ever replace the all-powerful SUDO no matter how hard Microsoft tries.

      I can’t express my disappointment trying to do some things on mac, via ssh as superuser, only to find out I needed to be there in person to reboot in fucking recovery mode.

        Yup, oh but don’t worry it’s all in the name of “Privacy and Security!!”/s

        Personal theory is Apple is slowly getting people used to a PC being a walled garden as much as a phone. They’ve already stripped the hardware of all upgradability in the name of “performance” and now they’re working on the software side in the name of “Privacy and Security”

      Because they wanna copy the cool kids. Just look at Win11 and say that’s not a KDE/GNOME ripoff… though the removal of settings thing, looks more like GNOME.
