sudo has been part of the Red Hat/Fedora family since Red Hat Linux 7.0
https://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/RedHa...
(2000-09) and had been in powertools since at least 5.2
https://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/5.2/en/powertools/i386/
(1998-11). Both of those dates vastly predate Ubuntu.
To add: sudo itself pre-dates Linux itself by around 11 years - sudo was
created closer to when su was created than to when the Linux kernel was
created.
sudo's config syntax is a little awkward, but it is a far superior
solution over su when it comes to security. sudo _can_ be configured
insecurely, but that's a function of who configures it and how, not the
tool itself. You could also make su insecure with bad configuration.
