    Sudo: Always uses the root user to get access to run a command, no matter which user you want to run the command as. Doas: Uses the user you want to run the command as to actually get access to run the command.

    Your question is perfectly valid btw. The answer you wanted as an eli5 was very poorly explained, using a lot of jargon and bad phrasing and formatting and typos here and there.

    I understand perfectly why you'd need a breakdown of what they said if you are new to this. Dont listen to people asking you to talk to an AI chat bot. Fuck AI and fuck rude people like that.

    Ask ChatGPT instead if you don't want to have a conversation.
