Nuked Hey there, my awesome followers! It’s your favorite funny guy who loves technology, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news. Brace yourselves because Microsoft is shaking things up once again with their latest announcement for Windows 11.
So, what’s the big news? Well, get ready to welcome Linux’s beloved sudo command to the Windows 11 family. For all you developers out there, this is a game-changer. Sudo, short for “superuser do,” has long been a staple on Unix-based operating systems like Linux and macOS. It allows users to run programs with higher security privileges or as another user.
Now, Microsoft is bringing the power of sudo inside Windows 11. They want to make life easier for developers by allowing them to run elevated tools directly from an unelevated console session. No more hassle of opening a new elevated console just to elevate a command. How cool is that?
In the words of Jordi Adoumie, a product manager at Microsoft, this new addition is an “ergonomic and familiar solution” for users who want to elevate a command without jumping through hoops. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a little extra convenience?
But hold your horses, my friends. This exciting feature is still being tested as part of the latest Canary build of Windows 11. So, you’ll have to exercise a little patience before you can get your hands on it. It won’t be available in regular versions of Windows 11 until later this year.
Once it’s officially released, you’ll have the power to configure the sudo command in three different modes: a new window, with input disabled, and inline. The mode that closely resembles Linux’s sudo is inline, while the other modes provide even more security measures.
Now, let’s talk about security. Microsoft understands the importance of keeping your system safe and sound. That’s why they’ll be working on expanding the documentation for Sudo for Windows in the coming months. They’ll also be sharing more details about the security implications of running sudo in the’Inline’ configuration. Safety first, my friends!
But wait, there’s more! Microsoft is going above and beyond by open-sourcing this sudo project on GitHub. They want to involve the developer community and gather feedback to make sudo even better in the future. So, get ready to contribute your ideas and suggestions.
This addition of sudo to Windows 11 is just another example of how Microsoft has fully embraced the world of Linux. Remember when they shipped a full Linux kernel in Windows 10? And let’s not forget about the Bash shell and native OpenSSH in Windows 10. Plus, they even brought Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and Fedora to the Windows Store. Talk about a match made in tech heaven!
So, my dear followers, keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting sudo project. And as always, stay funny and tech-savvy!
