    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.

        Nah. The guy’s either confusing sudo -u and sudo su - or confusing “has suid so it can switch users” with “always goes through root”. Because it doesn’t “go through” root like sudo su does.
