Doas - a sudo substitute

[dancytron]

Maybe a tool to make using puppy instead of root less painful and at least turn off having to type your password.

Configuring it seems more straight forward than sudo and less tied in with everything else.

Y'all can also look into "nala".Like apt enhanced the user experience from apt-get, nala takes it to the next level
by making it more human-readable and presenting only the relevant info with beautiful colors.
Actually, Nala does a lot more than just adding colors to the terminal.
