Is there an advantage of using doas over sudo - The Lemmy Club

I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.

doas uses like 10MIB less of mem than sudo.

What’s the point of using MiB if you’re just gonna say “like” lol

Because it is not exactly 10MiB. Should have used about instead of like though.

I mean just say MB if you’re not being exact

MiB and MB are not the same thing. Just that many CLI tools in linux use MiB instead so I just got used to typing MiB lol.

The difference between MB and MiB is 24 kilobytes

My point is that if you’re already estimating, the difference is negligible

It’s actually a difference of 48.576 kB to be pedantic

24 kibibytes. I dislike the annoying difference between kiB and kB, etc, etc as I also think in kB and MB as the binary values because that’s how I was taught for many years.

Again. If you’re not being accurate then theres no point jn being precise

You’re replying to the wrong person. I added some info over the difference between your comment and someone else’s acktually comment.

I don’t care either way; an approximation in MiB and MB is the same difference to me. The other person and yourself have got into a debate about nothing in my opinion.
