Sudo for Windows? Will wonders ever cease? It's easy enough to get an
Administrator Windows Terminal session by Ctrl-click on the new tab menu.
The problem I have is trying to do something requiring network access from
the Administrator session and having to go to the non-administrator one.

I've never editied the .wslconfig file although some of the default
changes sound good.

Anyway, MS is still refining WSL unlike some of their other temporary
enthusiasms.

Yay, another source of security vulnerabilities added to Windows, just as
Lennart Poettering has revealed his simpler, safer sudo-equivalent for
Linux.
