@hund The wording of the headline made my brain go "wait... that's what 'sudo' is for, though..." 😅

@joeligj12 I just recently got to hear about both, in two unrelated conversations. I've added doas to my todo-list. I've been meaning to look at it today. It looks rather exiting! :)

@joeligj12 @hund doas is nice but can you even ditch sudo completely?

@hund it looks like the default package manager needs sudo. why even use doas when I need to keep sudo on the system.

@epical What operating system are you using? It doesn't sound right that any application should require sudo, which is an optional application to begin with. A lot of operating system doesn't even include sudo by default.

@hund ArchIf I remove sudo and pacman the alternatives stop working as usual. Even paru, a package manager requires those to work it seems. Yeah doesn't sound right, I just confirm that's the case.

@epical It's been a long time since I last used Arch, but the base package doesn't contain sudo.https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/base/Sudo isn't listed as an dependency for Pacman either.https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/pacman/Weird? What command are you using to uninstall sudo?

@hund i just have to keep testing this and look for alternatives because what I was trying was to remove sudo and pacman, and the alternatives need sudo and/or pacman. i have said "the default package manager" needs sudo, and i meant the alternative i was trying to replace it with.
