KDE Sudo is a user interface program that provides a graphical front-end to the sudo command-line utility, enabling users to elevate their privileges within the Linux operating system. It simplifies and streamlines the process of running administrative tasks on a KDE desktop environment.
KdeSudo is a sudo frontend for KDE that was originally developed by Robert Gruber but is now being maintained by Kubuntu developers. KDE's normal KdeSu is limited in its functionality as it only deals with authentication and cannot correctly handle sudo specific features such as NOPASSWD.
KdeSudo acts as a wrapper for sudo commands and therefore, supports all "sudoers" file options. This makes it a more versatile and powerful tool compared to KdeSu. Additionally, it is command line compatible with KdeSu, making it easy to replace by simply linking /usr/bin/kdesu to /usr/bin/kdesudo.
Overall, KdeSudo is an excellent tool for users who need greater flexibility and functionality when managing sudo commands on their KDE system. Its compatibility with command line tools and support for all "sudoers" file options make it a must-have for power users and system administrators.
