Raspberry Pi OS and sudo

Hello:

Article from yesterday's edition of The Register:

-------------------------------------------------------
Raspberry Pi OS ends open-door policy for sudo
Command prefix will require password by default
by Richard Speed
-------------------------------------------------------

https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/15/ … /?td=rt-3a

Good idea but not new, PCLinuxOS took this stance many years ago:

Hello:

... normal way on Linux...

Of course.

The pcmagos article made direct reference (~14 years ago) to "The Manner Of The Buntus" which, quite obviously subverted the way to use sudo properly and now RPiOS is catching up.

Best,

....and it wasn't that long ago that the default user was 'pi', but at least now they ask at installation....

But it still annoys me that they take over the whole disk.....
