Yeah, that's about what I expect from a billionaire.

That's a perspective that I had considered.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

Neither heaven nor hell exist, so you can all stop worrying about them.

Enjoy your life because it's the only one you get.

You can also use a dedicated system for pirated games. My wife knows if I'm playing a legit game based on which computer I'm using. 😅

Why are rodents so damn cute? 🥰

Well, that's a perspective that I hadn't considered. Thanks!

Having to eat your food twice doesn't sound very efficient to me.

That doesn't surprise me. North Korea has their own as well.

It's not a good habit to get into. Even if you don't have anyone at homebto mess with your system, these kinds of habits tend to follow people around. You'll get comfortable at work and run something as root, but forget to deescalate permissions.

Just using sudo as your user runs only that command or script as root, then drops back to your limited user account.

Say you got busy or distracted and walked away, anyone who was able to access your system between the end of the command and the time your system auto locked would only have the access level of your user.

I don't know. The only time I've had significant issues was with Arch. Debian has always been good to me inbthat regard.

You should never use "sudo su". That's a big security no-no.

~$ sudo apt update

[sudo] password for {your user name}:

-command executes-

Is it that hard to compile from source on Windows? I've been on Linux for 20 years, so I genuinely don't know.
