@brightside why should I move to doas?

brightside May 17, 2023

@mark sudo has a history of security issues. doas is very simple and written with security in mind, just like any other #openbsd related software.

... except when you are using #ArchLinux, where the AUR #doas package has the #OpenBSD code, but the "official" doas package has had all of the OpenBSD code taken out and the timestamp files and other mechanisms from sudo substituted in.
