I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.

I use doas just because. It’s not necessary at all, but it can’t hurt either (I think). It might be a bit more secure (fewer features -> fewer code -> fewer bugs -> fewer vulnerabilities, need to give password more often). Kinda cool if you want more minimalism for fun (I replaced startx with sx…)

You can change the config so you don’t need to give the password every time.
Adding the persist option only requires it once every few minutes within a terminal session.
