With Ubuntu switching to a Rust-based sudo in the next release, I ask: is memory safety a strong enough reason to rewrite well-functioning tools? I also explore alternatives like doas, compare usage patterns, and reflect on what this shift means for the future of Linux. Is it evolution or unnecessary duplication? 👀 Watch my entire MAIN playlist here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3KVgwMTWoO0wKgJWk3BBtB20okJvu_6q 📍 Timestamps 00:00 A fact. 00:18 How do you feel about Rust re-writes? 01:03 SUDO-RS now default in Ubuntu 07:37 DOAS as a good alternative 17:37 Outro ❤️ Help Keep This Content Going Memberships: https://youtube.com/@LinuxRenaissance/join Patreon: https://patreon.com/LinuxRenaissance Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/darth Merch: https://shop.linuxrenaissance.com Zorin Pro: https://zorin.com/linuxrenaissance 📢 Join The Linux Renaissance Community Website: https://linuxrenaissance.com Matrix Room: https://matrix.to/#/%23lrl:matrix.org 🎵 Music By H0ffman: https://soundcloud.com/h0ffman/sets/protracker-amiga 🙏 Linux Renaissance is supported by OPNsense: https://opnsense.org Links within this video may contain affiliate links that I receive a small commission from.#Linux #RustLang #Coreutils #sudo #Ubuntu #OpenSource #doas #MemorySafety #SystemSoftware #LinuxRenaissance #Linux Mon, 04 May 2026 12:57:18 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com/lazy-static/avatars/9c56e2c1-4172-455c-9801-e3a8bad36429.gif https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com/videos/watch/eb04bd03-bbf6-406e-bae8-42417b0af133 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder. https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com/w/v2dWpZzWtYHQ6NrnMN8Zpz;threadId=10897 https://watch.linuxrenaissance.com/w/v2dWpZzWtYHQ6NrnMN8Zpz;threadId=10897 Sun, 03 May 2026 08:48:03 GMT @darth I’d think that it is not necessary in a base install. You already have “su” and anything more fancy belongs to the realm of sysutil tools. It’s only a pkg install away.

I know doas is a tool from OpenBSD, and not FreeBSD, but surely these two BSD's could collaborate more than they do? I would love to see doas becoming a part of FreeBSD base install with no need to fetch it via pkg.
