Sudo for Windows
Well, sudo for Windows has been a thing for, like, a few years now?... https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo
Not sure if this is the same thing, but this definitely should have shipped with the very first implementation of "oh, sure, you're an Administrator, but not really, since we're ignoring that bit" a.k.a. User Account Control.
That would have saved about a metric ton of misguided "here's how to turn off UAC" tutorials, but, ehm, yeah, anything to inject some life into the moribund Windows Insiders Program (the one where https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/ proudly headlines "What’s coming for the Windows Insider Program in 2023"), right?
