    Windows Finally Has a 'Sudo'-Style Command Too

    Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a new feature called 'sudo' that allows users to run single commands as an administrator, similar to the sudo command in Linux. This feature can be enabled through System Settings under the 'For developers' section. The default setting runs commands in a new window, but other options are available. If users experience issues or prefer a more Linux-like experience, they can use the open-source tool gsudo.

    Why I Use Linux

    Linux is preferred by the author not for common reasons like security or reliability but because of the freedom it offers in customization, the efficient workflow facilitated by tiling window managers, and the continuous sense of discovery.
