  • The answer to the text of the question is: that would continue to work. sudo doesn’t re-auth while a child process is still running, which in this case is su. Until su terminates, sudo doesn’t have anything to say about it. To be a bit more precise, the time limit for reauth would expire, but sudo doesn’t ask for authorization, and therefore wouldn’t check if that timeout has elapsed, until the next invocation.

    To answer the spirit of the question: you should probably be using sudo -i instead.

    if microsoft changed their apis wouldnt new games just not work on proton?

    Also, this is antithetical to the purpose of Windows when it comes to backwards compatibility. Remember that one of its main selling points is the ability to run old programs, regardless of what version it originally targeted.

    Believe it or not, the industry would probably start a riot if ms breaks that paradigm. It’s like, one of the main reasons that it has the market-share that it does.
