Windows 11 looks to be getting a key Linux tool added in the future

Fedora Remix for WSL on Windows 11.

What you need to know

  • Users of Linux and macOS may well be familiar with the sudo command, used regularly in the terminal, and it looks like Windows may finally be getting its own version. 
  • Spotted in a preview build of Windows Server, a new option to enable sudo with three configurable options is present in the developer settings. 
  • The average user will likely never touch this, but it would set Windows more in line with other platforms for system admins and developers who spend their time in the terminal. 
  • Presumably it could also reduce the need to launch a terminal specifically with administrator privileges.
