I am pretty sure it won’t work 100% like sudo on Unix-likes, so why didn’t they come up with different name, like elevate? This command being sudo will only confuse users.

I think they want to compete with GNU/Linux and attract its users. They made WSL for probably the same reason. They even have a terminal now that almost doesn’t suck.

Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.

Yeah, when I used it, every command had like a second of delay. It was also buggy. But it has tabs and you can even split the window into multiple panes. So big improvement over cmd.

So it’s more to poison search results to stifle Linux adoption

That’s probably why they named the Xbox One the Xbox One all those years ago. Whenever people googled how to mod an Xbox One to play pirated games, they would keep finding original Xbox crap instead since everyone up until that point called it “Xbox 1”.

Whenever a windows user Google’s how to do something with it the Linux thing will show up. Microsoft might need to rethink this

Ditch CMD and use PowerShell like a civilised person. ls is a valid built-in alias to Get-ChildItem. cd itself is an alias to Set-Location.
