| From: Stewart C. Russell <scruss@gmail.com> | I do despair somewhat of the casual way that sudo is slung around these | days. Amen to that. (The rest of your message was interesting too.) I was reading an article about people porting Linux desktops to Windows as a complement to the ubuntu userland that Microsoft will support this summer. <http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-run-linux-desktop-apps-on-windows/> Since Ubuntu on WSL automatically runs as root, you don't need to add sudo to the command for it to run. (WSL is Windows Subsystem for Linux, the thing Microsoft provides to support Ubuntu userland.) That's pretty scary. Microsoft still doesn't get Linux.
