it always bothers me when people compare sudo to a game of Simon Says. It’s not waiting for you to say the magic word, it’s asking if you’re sure you want to do something that could potentially damage your system. It’s no more Simon Says than a Windows UAC prompt.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t make a big deal out of this, but teaching novice Linux users that their new OS just likes to play Simon Says with them and that if any command fails the solution is to change nothing and run it again with more privileges strikes me as a remarkably bad idea, and like a really easy way to trick newbies into running malware since “Linux doesn’t get viruses”
The way I see it is you’re the Simon says machine and the computer is the player. It is expecting the sudo prompt. Asking me is more like do you want XXX Y/n:
