From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m surprised they would implement having just run0 effectively log you in as root. For the super security conscious constrictions of the command versus sudo, it would seem that the very notion of elevating your privilege beyond the single command to be carried out, would be anathema to the whole goal of this new command. Evidently not, but it’s surprising to me.

you can run a command using run0 it's only elevating that commads, sometimes it's needed to login as root, it's life

I'm trying to understand what you just wrote. Did you miss a period somewhere?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They did not miss anything. They just used commas where periods should be.

You can run a command using run0. It’s only elevating that command. Sometimes it's needed to login as root. It’s life.

The way it is written, semi-colons may be more appropriate but that would be a lot of them.

You actually pointed out that they did, indeed, do miss a period (the one after "run0.")
