    Sudo runs a temp shell as root. Doas runs the temp shell with whatever user you specified defaults to root w no arguments. Personally I just su to the user then run the command as the user natively in the users shell, makes it way easier to see what you did in the history and logs

        Sudo: Always uses the root user to get access to run a command, no matter which user you want to run the command as. Doas: Uses the user you want to run the command as to actually get access to run the command.
