I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.

I just use doas because sudo has a bunch of features i don’t care about or use, and doas does everything i need while being significantly smaller.
Does the size of a 6kb program really make that much of a difference?
Side note: If I’m reading this right (ignoring dependencies) sudo is 6kb while doas is 14kb.
Sudo is 6 megabytes
6,054.0 kB, not 6 vs 14.0 kB
Ya know, I wish I could at least say something about being european and using commas instead of periods for decimal points, but I can’t even say that. Still 6MB fully installed is nothing these days.
And here I am wondering what went so wrong with sudo that it needs 6 fucking mibibytes to work its simple magic.
Less lines of code needed means less chances of errors and potential vulnerabilities (if number and quality of eyeballs were the same)
No, but it’s cleaner and designed for my usecase, and no real work to setup for me, all I had to do was add an alias
