you don't need sudo to read index/package info, only to install and remove things
yeah i know its just force of habit
on which distro does it say "whom"?
% kill
Usage:
kill [options] <pid> [...]
Options:
<pid> [...] send signal to every <pid> listed
-<signal>, -s, --signal <signal>
specify the <signal> to be sent
-q, --queue <value> integer value to be sent with the signal
-l, --list=[<signal>] list all signal names, or convert one to a name
-L, --table list all signal names in a nice table
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
For more details see kill(1).
And this is why Linux needs age verification! Won't somebody please think of the children?!
Actually, maybe it would be better, if certain people thought of the children less.
More is less.

kill is a command.
love, happiness, and peace are not commands.
You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It's a game engine.
happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let's not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.
And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it's an icon of the peace symbol.

I've got search queries on "how to kill orphaned child" or something like that. I'm sure it set off some flags.

I kind of want to go back in time and make it so that the original yes always printed the first letter of the name it was called by. That way you could symlink any name you like to it and it would do the right thing. Called as no it would print ns, etc. The optional parameter would still be there for longer strings or alternate uses.
The reason time travel would be needed is that there's bound to be, or have been, someone who has done something weird regarding symlinking yes that relies on it always printing y when it has no parameter, and the name trick would be a breaking change.
yes always printed the first letter of the name it was called by
you mean like yes "$(whoami | cut -c1)"?
I'm going to assume you're not kidding, in which case, no, I mean the first letter of the command name it was called by.
There are already commands that do this. For example, on my machine, ex is the head of a symlink chain that leads to the vim text editor's executable and if I run ex, vim will know that it was started with the name ex and will start in ex mode. ex was an editor that worked in a different way but was vim's ancestor, so backwards compatibility is built right in for those strange people who love ex, (or have some kind of automation reliance on it being present).
Usually, the main command has a command line option that achieves the same effect as the special name. Here, vim -e is the less clever way to start vim in ex mode.
For yes, symlinking the name no to it and then calling that should arguably cause it to print n repeatedly, but it doesn't, for historical reasons, hence my suggestion to go back in time and make it act differently.
(None of this touches on the fact that the GNU philosophy wants nothing to do with clever tricks like this. They prefer to compile separate executables for each and every use case. For example, most Linuxes have dir and vdir as variants of the ls command. Their functionality could have been implemented through this symlink trick, but instead there are three near-identical executables taking up space instead.)
Or make your own package? call it affirm (more wholesome), write it in Rust (of course), and take on yes.
yesn't
bash kill output:
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
fish kill output:
kill: not enough arguments
With fish, you just need to fight more to earn that kill.

Ha! On Ubuntu, the OS of Love, you get:
manxu@ubuntu:~ love
Command 'love' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install love # version 11.2+pkg-d332, or
sudo apt install love # version 11.4-1
See 'snap info love' for additional versions.
Have you heard about Our Lord and Savior: Jesux
Also, we are seriously considering changing some fundamental OS features. The idea would be that function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas would be changed.
